Search underway for driver of Deer Creek Reservoir rollover crash
The search for the driver of a semitrailer that crashed into Deer Creek Reservoir on Monday evening continues.
The Utah Highway Patrol said the rollover happened near the town of Charleston, south of Heber City. UHP Lt. Cameron Roden said the semitruck was heading south on state Route 189 when it lost control, jackknifed, then hit the guardrail and went into the reservoir.
The cab of the truck was submerged, and the trailer is sticking partway out of the water, police said. Divers are making a cold dive to try to locate the driver.
The truck was hauling what police believe to be propane, and the truck was leaking due to the crash. Hazmat crews responded and are working to contain and remove fuel.
