SIGURD, Sevier County — A driver was killed in a rollover crash Tuesday afternoon, officials confirmed.

Shortly after 2:30 p.m., emergency responders were dispatched to 1190 N. State in Sigurd, said Sevier County Sheriff Nathan Curtis in a prepared statement. According to witnesses, a truck was traveling northbound when it went off the east side of the road. As the truck started to come back on the road, it began to drift sideways. When the truck came back onto the pavement, it flipped into the air and came down on the cab of the truck.

Emergency personnel arrived at the scene but were unable to pull the driver from the truck, Curtis said. Richfield City Fire Department responded to remove the driver from the vehicle.

“Despite (firefighters') best efforts, the subject was deceased due to significant injuries sustained in the crash,” Curtis said.

Because the truck was a Department of Natural Resources vehicle, Utah Highway Patrol requested the Sevier County Sheriff's Office to investigate the accident, Curtis said.

The driver’s identity was not released pending family notification. Curtis said the driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
