Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Pastor told St. George News a Chevrolet Silverado was driving west when traffic in front of the vehicle began to slow.
The driver of the Chevrolet did not slow with traffic, rear ending a Ford Super Duty. The force of the collision, he said, caused the Ford to in turn rear-end a Buick Lesabre.
After impacting the Ford, the Chevrolet crossed into the eastbound lanes before colliding with the guardrail. The incident happened between mile markers 15 and 16, and the collision blocked both lanes of travel.
