MAGNA, Utah — One person is dead and another is in critical condition following a rollover crash near Magna early Sunday morning.

One person found in once of the vehicles was pronounced dead at the scene. Another person was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

Two of the vehicles were empty, with multiple people fleeing the scene before officers arrived. So far, two people have since been contacted and are cooperating with police, but officers are still seeking two other individuals involved in the crash.

Bacchus Highway remains closed from 5400 South to 4100 South. Drivers are advised to take alternate routes.
