The crash occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday near Carbon Canyon. Reports indicate the incident involved two vehicles: one with a single driver and the other with two occupants. Unfortunately, one person traveling in the vehicle with two occupants died at the scene of the accident, while the other two were transported to the hospital with injuries that fortunately are not life-threatening.
