According to Sgt. Cameron Roden of the Utah Highway Patrol, the accident happened around 2 a.m. Friday just over 40 miles from the border between Utah and Nevada.
The driver of the first truck was not hurt, but the driver of the second truck was in critical condition and had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital. One truck was carrying parts for cars, and the other was hauling wheat.
