Zion National Park (UT)
Two Motorcyclists Killed in Tunnel
A fatal traffic accident involving two motorcycles occurred in the
Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel just before 6 p.m.
on Sunday, March 28th. The two motorcyclists, C.R.M., 21,
of St. George, Utah, and A.J.P., also 21, of Salt Lake City,
Utah, were killed when they failed to make a curve in the tunnel,
crossed the oncoming traffic lane, and hit the wall on the opposite side
of the tunnel. Rangers provided the initial response to the
accident. The Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel was immediately closed and
remained closed until 11 p.m. Sunday
night. The Utah Highway Patrol is assisting with the accident
investigation. Speed seems to be the primary casual factor at this
time.
