SOLDIER SUMMIT, Wasatch County — Two people are dead and one person is in extremely critical condition following a crash involving three vehicles at Soldier Summit in Wasatch County on Friday, the Utah Highway Patrol said.

At about 2:09 p.m. a Ford Explorer was westbound on U.S. 6 when it hydroplaned and crossed into oncoming traffic, the agency said in a news release. In the oncoming lane, the Explorer collided with a Toyota Sienna, a minivan, hitting it T-bone style.

The third vehicle involved in the crash, a Honda Accord, was following the Sienna too closely and hit the minivan, the release says.

There were nine people in total among the three vehicles.

U.S. 6 was closed for a time but has since reopened.
