TOOELE — A man was killed Tuesday evening when the car he was driving crossed the center line on state Route 36 in Tooele and collided with another car, police say.
The collision happened at 1220 S. Main Street. Tooele Police Sgt. Nick Cutler said a 35-year-old man was driving north on S.R. 36 — which turns into Main Street — in a black 2018 Nissan Altima. Cutler said the Altima had its headlights off and crossed over into oncoming traffic. It collided with a 2020 Hyundai Elantra driven by a 20-year-old woman who had a juvenile passenger in her car.
A Life Flight helicopter was called to transport the injured, but Cutler said the man died on the scene.
Both occupants in the other vehicle were taken to Salt Lake area hospitals via helicopter, Cutler said. The extent of their injuries was not given.
The name of the man who died was not released Tuesday.
