WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A man has died after police say he collided with multiple vehicles late Saturday night.
West Valley City Police said the crash happened around 10:00 p.m., when a driver, identified as 69-year-old Peni Palei, was heading east on 3100 South when he rear-ended a vehicle near 3750 West. That vehicle then struck a third vehicle.
Palei then left the scene and drove west in the eastbound lanes, colliding with another vehicle head-on. He was then extricated from his vehicle and transported to a local hospital, where he later died.
The three other drivers and the 10 passengers involved in the crashes only sustained minor injuries, and were treated at the scene.
