Two people suffered serious injuries after a driver suspected of driving under the influence swerved and struck a streetlight pole head-on late Saturday night, police said.
The crash happened at approximately 10:23 p.m. Saturday night on Friars Road near Interstate 15 when a 20-year-old female driver, suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, was driving westbound on Friars Road.

Her 21-year-old passenger, who was not wearing a seatbelt, suffered major head and chest trauma from the impact.
The driver also suffered major trauma.
Both were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police said they will seek a warrant for the drivers arrest. The Traffic Division is investigating.
