Witnesses rescue two men trapped in upside down truck in Logan River
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.

The passenger was heard saying the driver was dead.
The canyon was closed at Right Hand Fork for about an hour.
Traffic is coming through one lane at a time during the investigation. Police will shut it all the way down again when they pull the pickup out.
