HURRICANE — One person is dead, and another is in critical condition, following a crash Friday involving three vehicles and a motorcycle on state Route 59 southeast of Hurricane.
The accident occurred near mile marker 14 when a vehicle traveling east "attempted an improper pass, which caused a collision between three vehicles and a motorcycle," said Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Cameron Roden.
Roden said the person who died was initially taken from the scene by medical helicopter.
"That was a vehicle that ended up rolling during the collision and that driver has passed away at the hospital," Roden said.
In total, four people were transported from the scene, with two who had injuries not considered to be life-threatening. Roden added that the motorcyclist was the one critically injured in the crash.
The eastbound lane is currently closed, with traffic being diverted using the westbound lane, Roden said.
