RICHFIELD, Utah – Officials with the Utah Highway Patrol are investigating a crash in central Utah involving five students from Richfield High School.

The silver Jeep Cherokee went off the right side of the road and down into a deep ravine.
The dirt road is a popular destination for teenagers during their lunch break, according to troopers.
