According to Utah Highway Patrol, the now-deceased driver was traveling east on I-80 near 7200 West in Salt Lake City when their car crossed the median, rolled, crashed into a westbound car, then burst into flames.
The people in the westbound vehicle were taken to the hospital. Details on how many or the severity of their injuries were not immediately available. Westbound I-80 is completely closed due to the crash, and drivers are told to use State Route 201 as an alternate route.
