UTAH COUNTY, Utah, Oct. 29, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — A woman is dead after the pickup truck she was a passenger in collided, head on, with a semi truck on State Route 96 in Utah County.
The incident happened Tuesday afternoon near mile marker 17. As of 5 p.m., the road remained closed in both directions.
