MAGNA — A Pleasant Grove man died Sunday after apparently falling from an overpass and being struck by several vehicles near the Saltair. Bo Shepherd, 28, may have been attending an outdoor music festival near the venue and possibly got sick as he left and made his way south on the overpass, according to the Utah Highway Patrol. About 3:30 a.m. Sunday, emergency dispatchers received several calls reporting a body on westbound I-80 at the state Route 202 overpass. Troopers determined the victim was struck several times in the right lane, including by a semitrailer that returned to the scene. Investigators believe he may have been leaving the festival when… Read More

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Jason Vargas never talks to fans from the on-deck circle, just like major league teams never line up after a game and shake hands. Put a big league game in a tiny park full of 11 and 12 year olds, though, and those kinds of customs get tossed aside. Amed Rosario had three hits and drove in three runs, and the New York Mets went from cheering on players in the Little League World Series to impressing the youngsters in an 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night. Jeff McNeil added a two-run single to back Vargas (3-8) as the Mets claimed the second Little… Read More

At least 350 people have been killed and more than 800,000 residents are displaced after torrential rains led to mass flooding in the Indian state of Kerala.

PROVO — Earlier in the week, Dusty Fielding said he was seriously considering giving up competitive golf after the Siegfried & Jensen Utah Open.

Well, Sunday’s victory at Riverside Country Club didn’t necessarily change his mind, but it certainly gave him second thoughts. “I’ve been trying to win this for a long time. It was good to be the guy who played well the final round.” Dusty Fielding Fielding erased ghosts of near-misses in past Utah… Read More

Sometimes the affection is palpable. Like when Taylorsville quarterback Dane Leituala makes sure they share the burden and reward of a fundraiser, or when Riverton cross-country runner Joey Nokes, breathless from winning the Highland Invitational, said the reason he pushes himself through the sport’s most challenging aspects is for the guys and girls who suffer with him. Sometimes, it shows up in a thank you or a compliment, like when Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley takes the time to thank tight end Jake Jackson for the perfect block. Most of the time, however, it manifests itself through good-natured teasing, like when the Granger football players try to make each other laugh… Read More
