On September 26, 2024 there was a mutli-vehicle, multi-fatal crash on US-6 at milepost 235. A silver SUV was stopped on Spring Glen Rd. to go east on Highway 6 in Price. The silver SUV attempted to pull out into the designated acceleration lane but overshot the acceleration lane and went into lane number 1, which was occupied by a semi-truck pulling doubles. The semi-truck attempted evasive maneuvers and lost control veering to the left into westbound traffic. The semi-truck then struck a Nissan SUV in the westbound lanes pushing it off the roadway into a rock embankment. During the crash, another individual was driving an ATV on the westbound shoulder and was struck by the crashing semi and SUV. The four occupants of the Nissan and the rider of the ATV were killed in the crash. The driver of the silver SUV was checked out at a local hospital with minor injuries.
Sang Her (56) from Brooklynn Center Minnesota, Lee Thao (38) from Brooklynn Center Minnesota, Bee Moua (26) from St. Paul Minnesota, Mai Lor (25) from St. Paul Minnesota, were the occupants in the Nissan Rogue.
Gustavo Mendoza (35) from Helper Utah, was the single occupant in the Honda ATV.
