KANOSH, Utah (KSL.com) — Four children were among the eight killed in Sunday’s series of crashes in Millard County, Utah after an unusual dust storm limited visibility for drivers.

Five of the eight people who died were in the same vehicle, two were in another vehicle, and one death was from a third vehicle, the Utah Highway Patrol said Monday.

The five people in the same vehicle were identified Monday as Riggins Sawyer, 6; Franki Sawyer, 2; Kortni Sawyer, 30, all residents of St.

Race Sawyer was also identified as Kortni Sawyer’s brother-in-law, according to the UHP.

The two who died in a second vehicle were identified as Richard Lorenzon, 51, and Maricela Lorenzon, 47, both of Salt Lake City.

Another vehicle appears to have sideswiped the semitrailer, as well,” troopers said.

The Utah Highway Patrol relies on local medical responders in these types of incident,” UHP said in a statement.

While we mourn those who lost their lives in this incident I am amazed with the response of our troopers, sheriff’s office, EMS, fire and the incredible volunteers from communities across Millard County,” UHP Colonel Michael Rapich tweeted Monday.
