PAROWAN — A one-vehicle crash north of Parowan early Saturday left a woman dead and sent two others to the hospital, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
The accident occurred around 1:20 a.m. when the driver of Ford F150 pickup truck carrying two passengers, including a baby girl, lost control on black ice while traveling south on I-15 north of Parowan. The truck ended up across the median in the northbound lanes of the freeway.
"The vehicle rolled over ejecting all three occupants blocking both northbound lanes," a Utah Highway Patrol statement said.
A woman in the truck died at the scene while a baby girl was transported by helicopter to a hospital. A man in the vehicle was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
The crash led to the closure of the northbound lanes of I-15 at the location for about two and a half hours while officials investigated and to give the medical helicopter access to the scene. The roadway has since reopened.
Another woman died and another baby was hospitalized in a separate accident in Morgan County Saturday morning.
