WEST VALLEY CITY — A dump truck rolled over on another vehicle, sending two drivers to the hospital Tuesday afternoon.

Police say the dump truck was going northbound, ran a red light, and hit a vehicle, causing the truck to roll over and partially land on a second vehicle.

The dump truck driver and the second vehicle driver were sent to the hospital in serious but stable condition.

Police said the truck was carrying gravel and the crash caused the gravel to spill across the road. Police expect the road to reopen at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m.
