(Utah Department of Public Safety) A black Cadillac Escalade is photographed after crashing off of Interstate 70 in Sevier County on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022. The driver was later charged with vehicular homicide and two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol; two of the driver's children were ejected from the vehicle, and one died at the scene, the Utah Department of Public Safety reported.
