SALT LAKE CITY, UT : 6 killed, others seriously injured during deadly weekend on Utah roads on Sunday, 8th August 2021

The Utah Highway Patrol is urging drivers to "watch your speed, buckle up, avoid distractions and be safe" after five crashes resulted in six fatalities on Utah highways this weekend.

"These are tragic and have involved horrible circumstances," UHP Col. Michael Rapich tweeted.

Another crash on westbound I-80 near Echo Reservoir left two people in critical condition on Sunday around 4:30 p.m., Park City Fire District said on Facebook.

A pickup truck pulling a camper trailer rolled and both occupants, who were wearing their seatbelts, had to be extricated from the vehicle. One suffered a partial amputation but their injuries were not life-threatening, UHP trooper Colton Freckleton said. Both were transported to a hospital by medical helicopter.
