SALT LAKE CITY — (UPDATE 8:34 p.m.) — A witness told 2News that a Dodge truck with two men inside was driving “erratically” as it passed them westbound in Logan Canyon.

A few minutes later, the witness came across the truck, upside down in the Logan River at mile marker 473.5.

People who came upon the crash used a crowbar to get the truck open. They hooked a chain up to a semi truck that stopped to help get the men out.
