MAGNA, Utah — Two people were killed when their vehicle collided head-on with a semi-truck on a highway just off I-80 near the Great Saltair.
Unified Police Sgt. Melody Cutler said the southbound semi and northbound "passenger vehicle" crashed just after 8 p.m. on State Route 202, which connects SR-201 to I-80 in Magna.
One person from the car was fully ejected, and another was partially ejected. Both died from their injuries.
A third person in the car was airlifted to the hospital in extremely critical condition, Cutler said.
On Sunday, officials identified the victims as 20-year-old Victoria Keanea Thompson of Whiterocks (Uintah County) and 35-year-old Feilokitau Kaho Fiefia of South Jordan. Cutler said it appeared they were on their way to a concert at the Saltair.
The crash is under investigation.
