SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 21, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — The wrong-way driver of a red Mazda 3 sedan died at the scene after troopers say she entered the wrong-direction Interstate 80 ramp to Interstate 15.
At about 4:15 a.m. Sunday, the eastbound Mazda driver collided, head on, with a westbound black Chevrolet Suburban SUV on the 600 South ramp, “killing the female driver of the red sedan,” a Utah Highway Patrol statement says.
“It is believed the deceased female driver was not properly wearing a seatbelt. The driver of the black SUV was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.”
The I-80 eastbound ramp to I-15 was closed until about 8 a.m.
Gephardt Daily will share any additional information released.
