A violent early morning crash on Tuesday, Jan. 13 claimed five lives, with four people pronounced dead at the scene of the crash at Highway 4 and Van Allen Road in Farmington, and one more dying at a hospital. Officials on scene said visibility was limited due to fog, which was believed to be a contributing factor in the crash. Farmington Fire Department was dispatched to the call at 6:56 a.m., said Chief Conni Bailey, with the first units arriving on scene at 7:05 a.m. “Matt (Fire Department Captain Matt Bailey) immediately called an MCI alert,” Chief Bailey said of arriving on scene and realizing the vehicles involved were heavily damaged and mass casualties were likely.
