WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah â A teenager has died from his injuries after a side-by-side UTV accident near St. George.
Between 7 and 8 p.m. Friday night, the 14-year-old was driving in the Purple Hill area of Warner Valley when the vehicle rolled.
According to Lt. Regan Wilson with Utah State Parks, the teen was going up a hill at a low speed and with a passenger on board.
St. George News reports that the UTV then landed on top of the teen after rolling.
The boy was transported by LifeFlight to a hospital in St. George in critical condition. The passenger was taken to the hospital by ambulance, reportedly with only minor injuries.
The cyberextortion attempt that has forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline was carried out by a criminal gang known as DarkSide that cultivates a Robin Hood image of stealing from corporations and giving a cut to charity, two people close to the investigation said Sunday.
The shutdown, meanwhile, stretched into its third day, with the Biden administration saying an all-hands-on-deck effort is underway to restore operations and avoid disruptions in the fuel supply.

For weeks Casey Gerbich had his eye on a choice campsite at Utah’s Bear Lake State Park for the week following the Pioneer Day holiday.
But all the planning in the world wouldn’t have helped him book a site through the state’s online reservation system, administered by the outside contractor Reserve America.
Gerbich discovered the hard way that the popular park allows many of its campsites to be booked ahead of time for family reunions.
“Every single waterfront and shaded spot is prebooked,” said a frustrated Gerbich, who lives in Wellsville. “They are prebooking the premier spots.”
