SPANISH FORK — Two women were injured in a rollover crash by a semitruck on U.S. Highway 6 on Monday afternoon. Both were transported to the hospital in critical condition.
Spanish Fork police Lt. Cory Slaymaker told KSL TV on Tuesday that the semitruck had been traveling east toward the canyon and lost control. It slid into the west lane and collided with an SUV.
The driver and the passenger in the SUV were the two women, but Slaymaker did not disclose their names. The driver of the semitruck was not injured.
According to the Utah Department of Transportation, both directions of traffic were closed for over an hour.
It was initially reported that a helicopter responded to the scene. That has been corrected.
