(St. George, UT) - A fatal vehicle crash near St. George killed two people and caused southbound traffic to be diverted Wednesday evening.
Utah Highway Patrol Corporal Todd Johnson said a pick-up drifted to the right while traveling southbound, over corrected and rolled twice in the median, catching fire at mile marker 12.5 outside of St. George.
James Gardner, 48 of West Jordan, and his six-year-old son, Darrell, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Johnson said that southbound traffic was diverted at mile-marker 13. The investigation is ongoing.
It happened very quickly. There was nothing we could do. The emergency services arrived as fast as could be expected. There were dozens helping. And to everyone that tried or was gathering the extinguishers, Thank You for trying.
Bless this family. Your loved ones did not suffer long.
