GARDEN CITY, Rich County — A truck crashed into a storage facility in Garden City on Tuesday, the second truck to crash at the same intersection in the past week and the third in a year.

The crash took place about 2:30 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 89 and state Route 30, known as Raspberry Square. The truck, which the Garden City Fire Department said was hauling asphalt, damaged three storage units, according to Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Lee Perry.

The driver and co-driver both received minor injuries, Perry said. As of 2:45 p.m., first responders were extricating the driver from the truck, according to the Twitter user @Gobearlake. No one else was hurt.

It was the second truck crash at the Raspberry Square intersection in less than a week. Last Thursday, a semitrailer also crashed into a storage facility after brake issues caused the driver to run a stop sign, police said.

The two crashes this month follow a fatal crash at the intersection last year. On Oct. 10, 2018, a semitrailer overturned at the intersection and slid into a sporting goods store. The driver in that crash, 31-year-old Ahmed Abdelgader, of Omaha, Nebraska, was killed and a passenger was critically injured.

If the sporting goods store was still there, Perry said last week, the semitrailer driver would have hit it as well.

Preventing a similar crash from happening again is a priority for the Utah Department of Transportation, a spokesman said. But exactly what a solution could look like is yet to be determined.

“These things take time to do,” UDOT spokesman Vic Saunders said. “You have to prove them. You have to make sure the design is correct, and all of that.”
