According to a press release from the Iron County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to reports of a fire on SR-56 near mile marker 11 just before 3 a.m. Thursday morning. While driving to the scene of the fire, a report came in about a single-vehicle crash in the same area. Responders arrived at the scene and discovered that a vehicle had crashed and caused the fire.
The sheriff’s office says it appeared the vehicle left the roadway “at a very high rate of speed.” They believe the driver lost control and the vehicle rolled over multiple times. Deputies performed life-saving efforts at the scene of the crash, but the driver was ultimately pronounced deceased.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as 22-year-old Tristin Vandall. The Iron County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the exact cause of the crash.
The small brush fire caused by the crash was extinguished by the Beryl Fire Department and Bureau of Land Management fire units. The sheriff’s office stated that Utah Highway Patrol and the Office of the Medical Examiner also responded and assisted following the crash.
