PARK CITY — One person is in critical condition after two vehicles crashed head-on Wednesday night.

Three vehicles were reportedly traveling on State Route 248 in Summit County Wednesday night when two of them crashed head-on, according to Cpl. Jared Heywood with the Utah Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred east of Highway 40 and Browns Canyon, according to Park City.

According to UHP, a gray SUV was traveling westbound, and two vehicles were traveling eastbound at the same location.

“For an unknown reason at this time, the gray SUV traveling westbound left its lane of travel crossing into incoming traffic clipping a white SUV and colliding head-on with a red passenger vehicle,” a release states.

The two occupants of the gray SUV were reportedly transported to a hospital with minor injuries.

The driver, who was the sole occupant of the red vehicle, was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

According to the release, the occupants of the white SUV did not have any injuries.

The road is closed in both directions. The Utah Department of Transportation estimated the closure would be in place until 12 a.m.

The identities of the persons involved had not been released at the time of publication.
