One killed, another burned in fatal West Valley rollover
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah () — At least one person has died and another was hospitalized with burns after a recreational vehicle (RV) rolled in West Valley early Tuesday morning.
Lt. Bill Merritt with the West Valley Police Department said the crash happened around 2:40 a.m. near 3700 South and 5600 West. When officers arrived on the scene, they reportedly found the RV on its side.
Merritt confirmed that one person died on the scene in the crash, while another was taken to the hospital with burns. Their condition is unknown. It is currently unclear what led to the rollover crash.
As police are investigating, 5600 West in both directions has been closed down to traffic, according to Lt. Merritt. The West Valley Police Department is encouraging the public to avoid the area.
The Utah Department of Transportation advises drivers to use Mountain View Corridor or Bangerter Highway as an alternate route around the crash. However, as of 6:30 a.m., the UDOT Traffic Monitor shows heavily slowed traffic on the northbound lanes of Mountain View Corridor.
There is no estimate for when 5600 West will reopen.
