West Valley City, UT (July 15, 2025) – A Utah man has been arrested and is now facing multiple charges following a deadly multi-vehicle crash that unfolded over the weekend in West Valley City. The tragic incident occurred on Bacchus Highway near 5250 South early Sunday morning, July 13.
According to reports, 20-year-old Osvaldo Chavez Segovia was taken into custody after officers responded to the scene of the three-vehicle collision. Investigators say Segovia initially told police he had been walking nearby and witnessed the crash. He gave officers a false name, signing a written statement as Alexi Z. Cruz but listing his real phone number and date of birth.
Authorities later learned that one of the vehicles involved in the crash had been reported stolen. Officers detained Segovia at his residence after a witness provided his description and address. Police noted a strong odor of alcohol while transporting Segovia, who was underage. Three people were taken to the hospital with injuries, while one victim tragically died at the scene.
Segovia now faces several charges, including failure to remain at an accident involving death, measurable alcohol concentration in a minor, obstruction of justice, providing false information on an accident report, and driving without a valid license. The West Valley City Police Department continues to investigate the crash and urges anyone with information to come forward.
