SALT LAKE CITY — Officials identified the wrong-way driver who died after crashing into two vehicles on I-15 Sunday.
A driver of a blue Toyota Camry was eastbound in the westbound lanes of I-80 and got onto I-15, heading southbound in northbound lanes, Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Luis Silva confirmed.
Near 700 South, the wrong-way driver crashed head-on into a northbound Audi, Silva said. A gray Hyundai was also sideswiped by the wrong-way driver, he added.
The driver of the Hyundai suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. The driver of the Audi is in stable condition at a local hospital.
The wrong-way driver died in the collision. He was identified Monday as David Rick Garrard, 72, of Salt Lake City.
Traffic on northbound I-15 was diverted off the highway at 600 South temporarily after the crash.
Correction: An earlier version incorrectly reported the crash happened around 700 North instead of 700 South.
