Clinton, UT (May 13, 2021) – A nearly head-on collision between a passenger car and a pick-up truck on Thursday, May 13th in Clinton sent occupants from both vehicles to the hospital.
The two-car accident, which took place at about 7:15 p.m. at the intersection of 1300 South and 2200 West, ended with four people being transported for medical care, two by ambulance and two by private vehicle.
The car was attempting to make a lefthand turn and failed to yield the right-of-way to an oncoming pick-up truck, which went up into the grass.”
All injuries sustained during this accident are believed to be non-critical.
