A head-on car crash in Millcreek that killed two people Saturday morning closed the road for several hours.
The crash, which occurred about 6:30 a.m., closed southbound 700 East at 4200 South, according to the Unified Police Department.
Police said a man and a woman — both of whom were the sole occupants and drivers of the vehicles — were killed in the crash. Police have not yet released the identities of the victims, pending notification to next of kin, UPD Lt. Brian Lohrke said.
Based on an initial assessment of the scene, it appears one of the vehicles may have drifted into oncoming traffic, Lohrke said, though that remains under investigation.
The Utah Department of Transportation website showed the road open again Saturday afternoon.
