Two-Vehicle Accident Claims
Lives West of Cedar City
On September 28, 2021, officers from the Cedar
City Police Department were summoned to the
intersection of Highway 56 and Iron Springs Road
in reference to a two-vehicle collision. It was
determined that a cement truck collided with a
white Ford Explorer. The Ford Explorer had five
occupants and the cement truck had only the driver
inside. Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS arrived on
the scene and began evaluating multiple patients
with injuries. The cause of the accident is still under
investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with all
of those affected by this tragic incident.

Utah Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV),

Utahns.
Scammers sent a fake text message, from what
claims to be the “UTAH COVID-19 Vaccine Status

vaccination status on an embedded form on a
website. The website then falsely claims the CDC

text asks for personal information such as a name,
date of birth, Social Security number, driver license
number, weight, and ZIP Code, and doesn’t ask
anything about COVID-19. This is a scam and no
response should be given.
The scam appears to have targeted people in
Weber and Morgan counties, who reported it to
