3 killed, 3 hurt in Utah family vehicle crash

SANTAQUIN -- The Utah Highway Patrol says a man and two children were killed, while a mother and two other children were hurt in a rollover crash on I-15 near Santaquin.

Troopers say the family was from Provo. Investigators say it appears the male driver may have dozed off while driving the SUV north at 75 miles per hour about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The man and two girls, ages 4 and 11, were killed in the wreck.

A 1-year-old baby in a car seat received minor injuries.

The mother and a 6-year-old child were thrown from the vehicle but survived.

They were taken to Mountain View Hospital with serious injuries. The 6-year-old was then flown to Primary Children's Medical Center.
