Explosion Destroys Herriman Strip Mall After Crash

A three-vehicle crash late Saturday night in Herriman, Utah, caused a burning SUV to crash into a strip mall, rupturing a gas line and triggering a massive explosion and fire. The blast destroyed multiple businesses, including Domino's Pizza and Jimmy John's, and caused significant damage to nearby shops. Three people, all drivers involved in the crash, were hospitalized, while two bystanders rescued occupants from the burning SUV moments before it was engulfed. Over 60 firefighters from multiple jurisdictions responded to the scene, and nearby residents were temporarily evacuated due to the gas leak. The leak was contained and evacuation orders lifted by early Sunday morning, but the affected road remained closed. No firefighters or law enforcement officers were injured, and authorities continue to investigate the incident.
