The Utah Highway Patrol says a van was speeding south on Highway 89 and crossed over the center lane. It slammed into an SUV head-on. All three people in that SUV died.

The van then caught fire.  The driver of the van was flown to Dixie Regional Hospital.

It caused quite an impact on the road. A third vehicle coming southbound afterward ran right into debris from that crash and became disabled.

The Utah Highway Patrol says they are working to notify the families of those three people who died.
