A dust storm led to a tragic 20-vehicle pileup on I-15 near Kanosh, Utah leaving seven people dead on Sunday evening.
The fatal car crashes occurred around 5 p.m. Police reported that there could be more deaths, as several of the people rushed to hospitals were in critical condition.
Among the vehicles involved in the deadly multi-vehicle crash were multiple big-rig tractor-trailers and several passenger vehicles.
Kanosh is about halfway between the Salt Lake City area and the state’s southwest corner.
A strong thunderstorm was reported by weather services southeast of Kanosh around 4:30 p.m., with high winds occurring as the storm decayed. A nearby report of a 51-mph wind gust was recorded.
The fatal crash occurred in a region that is experiencing some of the worst drought conditions in the country, which makes dust storms more likely.
