According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, a series of road accidents occurred on Sunday afternoon local time. At least 20 vehicles were involved in an accident after strong winds caused a dust storm in the small town of Kanosh. Dust build-up has impaired visibility on the road.
“A sandstorm in Millard County [west side of Utah] led to seven fatalities and various injured motorists in a series of crashes Sunday afternoon west of Kanosh. Several people have been transported to area hospitals in critical condition,” the Utah Department of Public Safety said.
Due to accidents on the interstate highway, traffic to the south has stopped. The Utah Highway Patrol called for help from other cities.
