MAGNA, Utah (AP) - Officials say some Utah residents felt the largest aftershock yet since the 5.7 magnitude quake hit in March.

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports Tuesday night's “light” earthquake of magnitude 4.2 was in the northwester Salt Lake Valley near the town of Magna.

Officials say the aftershock was felt in the Wasatch Front region.
