A Utah Department of Public Safety spokesperson released the name of the victim involved in a fatal car accident on U.S. Highway 6 Friday night.
Gregory D. Leavitt, 34, of Pleasant Grove died in a fiery collision with a semi-truck, after veering into oncoming traffic near Spanish Fork Canyon, according to a press release.
The collision caused the semi-truck to jackknife and spill two trailers full of coal onto the highway. It also caused a brief fire in the cab of the semi-truck, injuring driver David Lee of Orem.
Lee was taken to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for treatment and later released, according to the press release.
The Utah Highway Patrol says Leavitt was driving a 2000 Acura eastbound, and for an unknown reason he drove directly in the path of a westbound semi-truck. Leavitt was ejected in the crash and died.
