Three Injured in Utah Head-On Collision

Three individuals sustained injuries in a head-on collision in Utah, when a teenage driver veered into oncoming traffic, according to local law enforcement. The incident occurred around 5 p.m. on Saturday along the Cory Wride Memorial Highway in Eagle Mountain, as confirmed by the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.

The mishap involved three vehicles. A 17-year-old boy, driving in the westbound lanes, accidentally crossed the center median and collided head-on with an eastbound vehicle. Dashcam footage from the last car in the chain of collisions captured the entire incident.

The video shows the teen’s vehicle colliding with the first car, flipping over, and spinning before impacting a second car. It subsequently skidded in front of a third car, which was recording the dashcam footage, leading to another collision.

First responders swiftly arrived at the scene to aid the injured victims. Three individuals were hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, although specific details about their condition remain unavailable.

The affected stretch of road was temporarily closed, but reports indicated that it was reopened around 7:30 p.m. that Saturday evening. The cause behind the teen driver’s dangerous drift into oncoming traffic remains unknown.
