KANOSH, Utah (AP) — At least six people were killed Sunday afternoon in a 20-vehicle pileup crash during a sandstorm, Utah Highway Patrol said.

The crashes happened on Interstate 15 near the town of Kanosh, the agency said in a news release. In addition to the six fatalities, several people were reportedly taken to hospitals in critical condition. Ground and air ambulances were used to transport crash victims.

The pileup occurred during a period of high winds that caused a dust or sandstorm which reduced visibility, the highway patrol said

You cant just drive into the sand people. Then it becomes russian roulette. Folks slowing down or stopping vs others in front or behind staying on cruise set at 80. Scary as shit. And deadly.

I’m ok. Thanks for asking 👍🏼 That was north of me. After two years of no summer rain, we are having one hell of a monsoon season throughout the southwest with thunderstorms every afternoon. Those things create some astounding downdraft winds and I’m guessing that is what was responsible for the dust storm. That and drivers that go 70 mph into a solid wall of dust. What can I say?
