(KSL News) There were multiple deadly accidents on Utah roads today.
In Bountiful a bizarre crash killed one person and sent two others to the hospital.
Police say a vehicle was traveling northbound on 200 West when it veered into oncoming traffic.
Another car swerved to avoid a collision. Then the vehicle moved back into its lane, then onto the curb, hitting a man at his mailbox and striking a telephone pole near 200 W. Pages Lane.
Sgt. Gary Koehn of the Bountiful Police Department said, "The pedestrian who was struck was in satisfactory condition. The driver of the vehicle was in critical condition, and the passenger in the vehicle was a fatality."
Officers are still reviewing witness statements to determine if speed was a factor. They also will look into possible medical conditions or impairments that may have caused the crash.
And a collision between an SUV and a motorcycle left one man dead in Salt Lake.
Witnesses said the SUV traveling westbound on 800 South ran a red light and hit the motorcyclist, who was traveling north on 700 East. The motorcyclist died at the scene.
Police are now investigating who had the right-of-way, and whether drugs or alcohol were involved.
The driver of the SUV was a 23-year-old woman. She was not injured.
