Route 6
This road lies between the areas of Price and Spanish Fork and is known for its various twists and turns. While it is considerably safer than it has been in previous years, drivers should still exercise caution, as there were a reported 256 fatalities on this route in 2014 and it continues to claim the lives of many drivers each year.
Interstate 70
Perhaps one of the only major highways in Utah that doesn’t connect to an urban area, this highway proves to be a significant threat to drivers. This road claims a few lives each year, the most common cause is drivers who get in an auto accident after taking advantage of the fact that they aren’t in a major urban area.
