According to a press release from the Utah Department of Public Safety, the accident occurred around 5:58 a.m. Friday morning.

“A Peterbuilt (26,000lb box truck) was traveling southbound on I-15 near milepost 341,” the release said. “The driver of the box truck stated a warning light came on the dashboard advising to immediately shut down the engine. The driver of box truck came to a stop in the gore area between I-15 southbound and the merge to I-84 eastbound. Mini Cooper was traveling southbound on I-15 and traveled onto the I-84 eastbound merge. The roadways were slick and slushy. The Mini Cooper lost control on the roadway and rotated off the roadway into the gore area. The Mini Cooper’s passenger side struck the passenger rear corner of the Peterbuilt.”

The release said the occupants of the Peterbuilt were not hurt while the driver of the Mini Cooper succumbed to his injuries at the scene. KUTV reports that the driver was a 29-year-old male.

The merge on to I-84 was closed for two and a half hours for the investigation.

Utah Highway Patrol PIO Lt. Cameron Roden told the Standard-Examiner on Friday afternoon that the investigation is still ongoing and that the identity of the Mini Cooper driver won’t be released for at least 24 hours after the accident.
