Lt. Cameron Roden, Utah Highway Patrol, confirmed with ABC4.com that the incident happened just after 6 a.m. on May 12. The commercial semi had left the roadway, crashing through six cars that were parked at a nearby auto repair shop.
The semi-truck continued its path, plowing through a utility pole, a fire hydrant, fencing and an open field before crashing and coming to a stop in a home occupied by an elderly couple and a 12-year-old boy.
The elderly couple, who have not been identified, were reportedly taken to a local area hospital but were flown to another hospital for further care. The extent of the injuries is currently unclear. The 12-year-old, who was asleep in the front room, was uninjured but taken to the hospital as a precaution, according to Lt. Roden.
The two occupants of the semi-truck were also taken to the hospital. Lt. Roden said one occupant suffered serious injuries while the other suffered low-to-moderate injuries.
Images and a video shared with ABC4 by a viewer show the crude oil tanker extending from the home with power lines draped over it.
It is currently unclear what caused the semi-truck to leave the roadway and crash into the home. Utah Highway Patrol is on scene investigating and clearing the crash.
Crews with Rocky Mountain Power are also on scene working to restore power to the area. According to the Rocky Mountain Power Outage Map, nine customers in the area were impacted by power loss following the crash. The power company estimates power to be fully restored by Monday afternoon.
