Mt. View Corridor, UT (March 31, 2021) – A 41-year-old male was taken to a local trauma center in critical condition after being involved in an accident on Mt. View Corridor.
The collision took place at about 3:35 p.m. when a dump truck pulling a trailer full of rocks and dirt was driving southbound on Mt. View Corridor and was reportedly unable to brake for a red light.
As the operator entered the intersection, his dump truck crashed into another dump truck that was traveling eastbound on 7800 South.
An SUV driven by a man in his 40s was caught in the middle of the collision. He was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
The 41-year-old man, a resident of Tooele, who was driving the first dump truck, was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
The driver of the eastbound dump truck was unharmed during the incident.
An investigation into the accident and into why the first truck operator was unable to stop is underway.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Even without design flaws, like obscured street signage or potholes, intersections present unique hazards for drivers in Utah. There are often several drivers, bicycle riders, and/or pedestrians traveling at different speeds in different directions, and some intersections have up to six lanes all coming together. Intersection accidents, even at slow speeds, are capable of causing serious and potentially life-threatening injuries.
When victims are injured in accidents caused by the negligence of other drivers, it is crucial that they seek legal guidance from a skilled and knowledgeable car accident attorney in Salt Lake City as soon as possible. When victims are harmed in collisions, through no fault of their own, they are often able to obtain compensation from wrongdoers to alleviate the financial costs they face for medical treatment, lost wages, property repairs, and a variety of other economic and non-economic damages.
