PAROWAN — A semitruck driver killed in a rollover crash involving a second semi has been identified.
Payton Roberts, 28, of Beaver, was killed in the Aug. 18 crash about 3:30 a.m. on I-15 just outside of Parowan, in Iron County.
Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Haley Scheer said one semi was northbound when it began to approach another northbound semi ahead, in the right lane. For unknown reasons, the first semi rear-ended the second semi, causing the first truck to veer off the right shoulder and roll.
Scheer said the driver of the semi that rolled, Roberts, sustained fatal injuries in the crash and died at the scene.
Information about the driver of the second semi was not available.
