In a harrowing incident on Saturday night, July 5, 2025, a three-vehicle crash in Herriman, Utah, led to a devastating explosion at a local strip mall.

Miraculously, two bystanders risked their lives to rescue the driver and passenger from the burning vehicle just moments before it was engulfed in flames. Their swift actions undoubtedly saved lives.
The explosion destroyed the Domino’s restaurant and caused significant damage to neighboring businesses, including a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop and a Supercuts barbershop.
