Man remains critical after multi-vehicle crash in Tooele County

The Utah Highway Patrol continued to investigate the initial cause of the 3:49 p.m. Sunday accidents, including whether the 21-year-old man, driving southbound in a Toyota sedan, triggered the accidents by sideswiping a southbound Acura. The impact forced both vehicles to careen across the median, where the Toyota then struck an oncoming Chevrolet pickup truck, UHP Sgt. Todd Royce said.

That second collision ejected the Toyota's driver, who was not wearing a seat belt. He was flown by medical helicopter to University Hospital in Salt Lake City hospital with extensive, life-threatening injuries, troopers reported.
