Man found dead after truck spotted in ravine on Mirror Lake Highway

The Summit County Sheriff’s Office was notified Friday that a red pickup truck crashed into a ravine near mile marker 15 on State Route 150, known as Mirror Lake Highway.

Officers responded and discovered the vehicle was unoccupied.

As they searched the area, they found a dead man with an apparent gunshot wound.

Officials said it is now up to the coroner to identify the man and determine his official cause of death.

The Summit County Sheriff’s Office said the truck is believed to belong to 39-year-old Thomas Roger Lund, a Summit County man who has been missing since Sept. 12.

Authorities said Lund was known to frequent various parts of the Uinta Mountains, as well as Wolf Creek Pass and Moon Lake.

At this time, investigators do not believe anyone else was involved.
