PINTURA, Washington County — One motorist died after one of two trailers they were hauling “began to whip,” leading to a rollover crash on I-15 Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Emergency crews responded to a crash on the freeway between Kannaraville and Toquerville shortly after 4:30 p.m., according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
Troopers said a male, whose name and age was not immediately released, was driving a Ford pickup hauling a travel trailer and a side-by-side vehicle trail when the second trailer began to move around, causing the pickup truck to veer off the right side of the road. The trailers detached and the vehicle rolled over.
The driver was wearing a seat belt but was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, troopers added. Nobody else was inside the vehicle and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
The crash initially closed all three lanes of southbound I-15 in northern Washington County. One of those lanes reopened Sunday evening; the remaining lanes were expected to reopen Sunday night.
