Utah has seen an influx of fentanyl into the state. What happens to the rural communities traffickers drive through as they distribute drugs?
The highway headed into Price, Utah, has more roadkill on it than moving cars. Through the windy canyons, there is an abandoned, sunken ghost town and periods of time without cellphone reception. Highway 6 may seem out-of-sight and out-of-mind to northern city slickers, but it is one of the routes drug traffickers take to distribute fentanyl and heroin to dealers across the state.
Price, in the heart of Utah’s Carbon County, is at the crossroads of a growing, deadly drug problem in Utah.
