A Box Elder County sheriff's deputy remained in serious condition Wednesday, recovering from extensive injuries from a head-on collision on State Road 30.
The Utah Highway Patrol said Deputy Zachary Moore, 30, was traveling west on the road, near mile marker 97, at 4:11 p.m. Tuesday in his unmarked police truck. An eastbound pickup, coming upon a farm vehicle making a left turn, veered into oncoming traffic and into the path of Moore's vehicle.
The resulting collision toppled the deputy's pickup onto its passenger side, and the vehicle came to rest on a guardrail. Moore, who was wearing his seat belt, suffered several facial injuries and was flown by medical helicopter to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden.
The 18-year-old male driver of the pickup reportedly was not injured.
The crash was under investigation, UHP said. Troopers will screen possible charges against the teen with the Box Elder County attorney's office.
