LOGAN, Utah (ABC4) — The Cache County Sheriff’s Office released the identities of the two people who died Tuesday morning in a fatal crash on Stink Creek Road near the Logan City Landfill.

The Cache County Sheriff’s Office identified the two people who died as Jace Tanner Dunn, 29, and Rose Reed, 24.

A moment of poor judgment can have devastating and irreversible consequences. Please help us keep our roads safe for everyone.”
