Why is Highway 6 in Spanish Fork So Deadly?

I heard the police cars and ambulance speeding down Highway 6 this morning.

Really, it’s a pretty common sound.

What can be done?

Here was the result of another accident today in Spanish Fork Canyon:

SPANISH FORK CANYON — Two people were killed when a car collided with a semitrailer up Spanish Fork Canyon Saturday.

According to Sgt. Ted Tingey with the Utah Highway Patrol, a 78-year-old Texas woman was driving a Pontiac Vibe down the canyon near Thistle Junction around 8 a.m. when she drifted into oncoming traffic and struck a semitrailer carrying brick.

The impact caused the Pontiac to spin off the road, while the semi ended up in the opposite lanes of traffic.

Tingey says the driver of the Pontiac, Patsy Clark, was flown to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in serious condition with neck and back injuries. The two people in the car with her, 52-year-old James Stanrar and 75-year-old Joyce Finley, died at the scene…

What are your suggestions on how we can make Spanish Fork Canyon a safer place to drive?
