SEVIER COUNTY -- One teen was killed and another critically injured Sunday morning in a crash on Interstate 70 in Sevier County.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, six members of the Sunrise Academy -- a treatment center and boarding school for troubled girls -- were riding in a Chevy Suburban from Hurricane to Moab around 9:00 a.m. when the driver tried to pass another car, lost control and rolled the vehicle.
One passenger, 17-year-old Natasha Newman of London, England, was killed. A 17-year-old from Arlington, Mass. was ejected from the vehicle when it rolled. She was flown to a Salt Lake City hospital in critical condition.
Four others went to Sevier Valley Hospital with minor injuries. Troopers closed several lanes for an hour and a half so they could clean up the wreckage.
Investigators are looking into whether any charges should be filed.
