Only minor injuries in Washington County rollover crash

WASHINGTON — Four people, including a pregnant woman, who were ejected from a sport utility vehicle in a rollover crash Friday afternoon were lucky to have received no serious injuries.

The crash happened at 1:37 p.m. on I-15 about a mile north of Washington in Washington County, said Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Plank.

Of the four people in the vehicle, only the pregnant woman was wearing a seat belt.

The tread appears to have come off a rear tire, causing it to blow out and the driver to lose control of the SUV, Plank said. The vehicle rolled over, ejecting the three males and one woman.
