VERNAL , Utah — Millions of years ago, a giant asteroid killed off the dinosaurs; on Wednesday, something with rear view mirrors and seat heaters gave it a shot.
Dinah the Dinosaur, the iconic Vernal roadside attraction, was damaged after it was struck by a vehicle in the early morning hours. Photos shared by Vernal City show Dinah still standing tall, but with her tail no longer connected to the rest of her 40-foot pink body. According to the city,"Dinah remained unfazed during the incident and she will be repaired quickly."
An emotional video from Melinda Barlow, a nearby business owner, showed and detailed the scene following the accident. "My heart is broken, but I imagine I will cheer when it is repaired," said Barlow, who added that Dinah was damaged when she was moved to the spot in 1958.Just last year, Dinah became a member of the National Register of Historic Places after welcoming visitors to Vernal for decades.
