Teen killed in I-15 rollover

NEW HARMONY, Washington County — A 19-year-old boy is dead after a rollover crash near here.

The Utah Highway Patrol said it happened about 6:20 p.m. Tuesday when a 1995 Ford Explorer carrying four people from the Brian Head Ski Resort to La Verkin drifted off I-15. Troopers said the driver tried to bring the vehicle back onto the road, but it went off the right side of the freeway into the dirt.

"The driver overcorrected to the left, which caused the vehicle to roll multiple times," UHP trooper Cameron Roden said Wednesday.

All of the people inside were wearing seat belts, troopers said. A passenger, Danial Cole Morawetz, 19, was pronounced dead at a Cedar City hospital a short time later. The three others were treated at the hospital and released.

The UHP said it suspects marijuana may be a factor in the crash. Charges are pending, Roden said.
