MOAB — Two people were killed Thursday in separate San Juan County crashes.
The first crash involved a motorcycle and occurred just after 2 p.m. on Grand View Point Road, near the entrance to Canyonlands National Park. No other details were immediately available, but the San Juan County Sheriff's Office said one person died on scene.
Then just after 3 p.m., a vehicle rolled on Lisbon Valley Road, near the Lisbon Valley Mine. A first responder from the mine arrived and initiated lifesaving measures, but the driver died from their injures, the sheriff's office said.
The identities of the deceased have not been released as police were working to notify family members.
"The San Juan County Sheriff's Office would also like to remind everyone that is driving around in our county to please drive carefully. With the warmer weather, there is an increased number of people on our roads going from point A to point B," a statement from the sheriff's office says.
"We would also like to remind everyone not to drink and drive, wear your seat belts and obey the speed limits. Most crashes we respond to and serious injuries could be avoided if people followed those three simple rules," the agency added.
