Domino's restaurant in Utah explodes after SUV crashes into building
A video posted to social media by Unified Fire Authority, Utah's largest fire agency, showed firefighters working to put out the blaze at a commercial building on Saturday night when an explosion is heard and debris is seen flying in the air. Shortly before the explosion, "two courageous bystanders risked their lives" to rescue the driver and one passenger from the vehicle, fire officials said in a Facebook post.
Herriman Fire/Explosion
Saturday night a devastating 3-car accident sent one vehicle off the roadway and into a building, rupturing a gas line and igniting a massive fire. Two courageous bystanders risked their lives to rescue the driver and passenger from the burning vehicle just moments before it was engulfed in flames. As fire crews began suppression efforts, a powerful explosion destroyed one business and caused significant damage to two others. Over 60 firefighters from Unified Fire Authority, South Jordan, West Jordan, West Valley City, Sandy, and Draper worked together to battle the intense blaze. Three individuals were transported to local hospitals. Thankfully, no firefighters or law enforcement officers were injured during the incident. We are grateful for the bravery of the bystanders and the swift, unified response from all emergency personnel. #UFA #FireResponse #FirstResponders #CommunityHeroes #UnifiedFireAuthority #MultiAgencyResponse #BreakingNews #UtahFire Posted by Unified Fire Authority on Sunday, July 6, 2025
No one was in the building when the crash involving three vehicles occurred, according to a spokesperson for the city of Riverton. Multiple people involved in the three-vehicle accident were taken to the hospital, the spokesperson told CBS News. No injuries were caused by the explosion.
Additional details on what led to the crash were not immediately available.
Herriman is a city 30 minutes southwest of Salt Lake City, adjacent to Riverton.
The commercial building that the vehicle veered into housed Domino's, Jimmy John's and Supercuts. The explosion destroyed the pizza restaurant and "caused significant damage" to the two businesses next door, fire officials said.
None of the firefighters who were near the Domino's when it exploded were injured, according to the Unified Fire Authority.

After Saving $1.3 Million At 35, This Doctor Wonders If It's Finally Lamborghini Time
A 35-year-old physician earning $350,000 a year has saved $1.3 million and is now wondering if it's time to stop playing it so safe and finally splurge on the dream car he's always wanted: a Lamborghini. 'I don't want to look back and think, 'I wish I had spent more and had fun when I was young,'' the doctor wrote in a popular Reddit post on r/whitecoatinvestor, a subreddit filled with financially savvy medical professionals. Don't Miss: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. 'You want to blow 30-40% of what you made in a decade in a single afternoon?' one person asked bluntly. Another said, 'Lambo money is $1M a year or more. This is like a barista buying a Birkin bag.' Still, not everyone was against the idea. Many encouraged the physician to explore the fantasy without committing outright. One of the top responses suggested spending $1,000 or $2,000 to test drive a variety of exotic cars. 'Try them all at 150 mph and see if that's enough for you,' the commenter said. Others recommended a more practical splurge. 'A really high-end car will turn heads but it comes at like a $150K premium to something you can use that will also turn heads and drive to what is your likely capability,' one commenter said, suggesting a Porsche 911 or BMW M4 as middle-ground options. Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. Plenty of people pointed out that while $1.3 million is an impressive savings milestone, it may not justify a purchase as extravagant as a Lamborghini. One financial planner shared that a client with $2.5 million in investments still struggled with the idea of splurging. 'She ended up settling on a trip of a lifetime. We still talk about it to this day.' 'If you worked hard your entire life with the explicit purpose to buy a Lambo, then maybe you should do it,' another person said. 'However, I like cars quite a bit but would still never spend that much at that net worth.' A few were more philosophical. 'Sometimes it's not about generational wealth or even wealth beyond need. Sometimes it's just life. You really only do live once. Let no one influence your enjoyment of such.'Even those supportive of the idea urged the doctor not to buy new. 'Buy a used Huracan for $200K. The first owner took the depreciation hit. Keep it a couple years and resell for $180K,' one user advised. 'Costs you $20K in depreciation vs $100K in depreciation.' And then there were the skeptics who had been there and done that. One Porsche owner said his 911 mostly sat in the garage and was eventually sold. 'I loved my Toyota Tundra so much, the Porsche sat in the garage for six years and only got 20K miles.' Ultimately, the community's message boiled down to this: Don't let fear of missing out or burnout push you into a massive decision. Rent first, try it out, and if you love it, go for it. Just don't expect the Lambo to solve anything deeper.

William Sawalich wins ARCA West at Sonoma in surreal three-wide photo finish
Friday was supposed to be a rather tame day at the track as the Sonoma race weekend got underway. There was practice and qualifying for the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Shane van Gisbergen earning pole position, ending the day with an ARCA West race. Well, despite William Sawalich dominating most of the event, the race ended in one of the most dramatic finishes ever seen at the historic California road course. Advertisement When Kyle Keller stalled on the frontstretch, it pushed the race into overtime and set-up a one-lap dash to the checkered flag. Sawalich was in control with Alon Day directly behind him. Day is an Israeli driver and a four-time champion of the NASCAR Euro Series, but this was just his second start in any ARCA event. He shoved Sawalich off into the first corner, sending the race leader completely off the track. Day ended up following him into the dirt, skidding back across the track and slamming fenders with Christian Eckes. Sawalich got back onto the pavement still in the lead, only to have both Day and Eckes split him, moving Eckes into the race lead. Day remained in hot pursuit for the rest of the lap, setting him up for what most thought was about to be a classic bump-and-run. Advertisement Instead, Day went to the outside as they approached the hairpin, drawing even with Eckes under braking. Sawalich, who had recovered from his off-track excursion at the start of the final lap, was right there with them. He got into the back of Eckes, pushing him wide and cutting under him as the trio exited the final corner in a contact-filled battle to the line. Eckes and Sawalich slammed doors and both drivers got into the wall on opposite sides of the track. As they raced to the line, they fanned out in a thrilling three-wide photo finish for the ages. Sawalich was ultimately victorious with Eckes second and Day finishing a very close third. Video of the finish Sawalich, who competes full-time in the Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing, now has four wins as an ARCA West driver. After the dramatic victory, he told Flo Racing: "That was definitely our race. It just sucks that it had to happen that way. We did what we could to to get our car into Victory Lane." Advertisement When asked about the final lap, Sawalich added: "I don't know what happened in (Turn) 1. I don't know if I overshot it or -- I'm pretty sure I got ran into. It is what it is. It was a good race." At the checkered flag, Sawalich was just 0.066s ahead of Eckes with Day within 0.156s of the win.
