Brian Peterson, Utah Highway Patrol public information officer, said of the 5:32 p.m. crash. The motorist apparently drove into a cliff by the side of the road intentionally, he said. 'It's still under investigation.' US Highway 6 was initially closed in both directions for the investigation, which includes the State Medical Examiner, for the single-car crash at milepost 186 near Billy's Mountain View area, Peterson said.
