TOOELE — A man was killed and a woman was seriously injured after their car spun off the road in Tooele Wednesday night.
About 6 p.m., a Ford F-250 was heading east on I-80 just past the state Route 179 exit. The Ford began to fishtail and went off the shoulder of the road, rolling into a marshy area and landing in about a foot of water, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Cameron Roden said.
The man driving the truck died on scene. A female passenger was transported to a local hospital in serious condition. No identifying information on the man or woman was released, but Roden did say they are husband and wife.
It was unknown what caused the Ford to fishtail, but wet roadways and rainy conditions may have contributed, he said.
