RIVERDALE, Weber County — One person is dead after a crash Friday on the exit ramp from I-15 southbound to I-84 near Riverdale.
Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Cam Roden said the crash involved two vehicles, one being a semitruck,just before 6 a.m.
The driver of the truck said a warning light came on the dashboard advising the engine be shut down, so the driver came to a stop in the gore area between I-15 southbound and the merge to I-84 eastbound. The roads at the time were slushy, UHP said.
"A box truck was broken down in the gore area between the ramp when a Mini Cooper lost control and hit the back of it with its passenger side," Roden said.
The driver of the Mini Cooper, a 29-year-old man, died at the scene. The truck occupants were uninjured.
The exit ramp was closed for more than two hours while crews investigated and cleaned up the scene.
