Man and two cows killed in tractor-trailer crash in Cache County

WELLSVILLE, Cache County — A man was killed in a collision between a car and a semi-trailer in northern Utah Thursday morning.

Sergeant Cameron Roden of the Utah Highway Patrol said a Thunderbird was traveling west on State Route 101, just west of the intersection with U.S. Highway 91 in Wellsville, at about 6:39 a.m. The car then crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a semi-truck.

The driver of the Thunderbird was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. Police have not released his name.

The driver of the semi-trailer was uninjured. The semi-trailer was transporting cattle and Roden said two cows were killed in the collision.

While investigators were on site, SR 101 was closed for several hours.
