Uintah County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of 6000 North and Dry Fork Canyon Road on a report of a single-vehicle rollover crash.
It appears that the vehicle was travelling south on Dry Fork Canyon Road at a very fast speed, the driver lost control and then drove off the west side of the roadway and up a dirt hill where it rolled several times and both driver and passenger were ejected.
Police identified one of the occupants as 21-year-old Trevor Cuch of Vernal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second occupant was a 15 year old from Vernal. He was transported to Ashley Regional Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
It appears that the victims had borrowed the vehicle from a friend who lives in the area. He was eventually located after he called dispatch officials to report his friends were overdue in his vehicle.
Officials said that there was no evidence of alcohol playing a part in the crash but they did not know which of the two victims was driving when the accident occurred.
