CACHE COUNTY, Utah — Two people were killed in an early morning rollover crash near the Logan City Landfill in Cache County on Tuesday.
According to the Cache County Sheriff's Office, the crash happened just after 6 a.m. at 14200 Stink Creek Road. When deputies arrived, they found the crashed vehicle and two people, a man and a woman, who had been ejected from the vehicle and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The names of the victims aren't being released as next-of-kin notifications are still being made.
“Our sincerest condolences go out to the families of those involved in this tragic incident," said Lt. Mikelshan Bartschi.
The sheriff's office said it has identified several factors believed to have contributed to the crash, including excessive speed, failure to use seatbelts, and likely the presence of alcohol, as deputies reportedly found several open containers at the scene of the crash.
"We want to remind everyone in our community to drive safely, wear your seatbelt, and never drink and drive," Lt. Bartschi wrote. "A moment of poor judgment can have devastating and irreversible consequences. Please help us keep our roads safe for everyone."
