Midvale, UT (September 08, 2022) – A 6-year-old boy died and several others were injured, three critically, during a six-vehicle collision on the westbound side of Interstate 215 on the afternoon of Thursday, September 8th. 

When the crash occurred, an auto transporter was traveling at a high rate of speed when it was involved in a collision with another vehicle. Five additional vehicles become involved in the pile-up causing injuries to a total of nine victims.   

The 6-year-old boy who was killed in the impact was in a car with his mother and two sisters, all of whom were critically injured but expected to pull through. Another victim was med-flighted from the scene. 

No citations have been issued at this time, however, prosecutors will be screening the case.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

People are quick to think that the truck operator is always to blame for accidents involving tractor-trailers, but this is not automatically the case.  

There are many different factors that can contribute to the likelihood of a tractor-trailer accident. The trucking company, truck owner, vehicle or parts manufacturer, cargo loading company, maintenance contractor, or even a government agency could be liable for a trucking accident. 

Other factors in truck accidents include:

Tractor-trailer collisions are a lot more common than people think. Accidents that involve these massive vehicles usually end in devastation, leaving victims with equally massive medical bills and a life that has been turned upside down. 

In most situations, victims may be able to hold the negligent party liable for their injuries.
