MURRAY, Utah — Officials believe one person died from suicide during an incident Wednesday involving a truck that jack-knifed on Interstate 15 in Murray.
The incident occurred in the southbound lanes of the highway near 5200 South. A truck hauling vehicles blocked three right lanes of traffic near the scene.
According to a UHP spokesperson, the 22-year-old male driver of a white BMW involved in the incident died from a gunshot wound to the head. A weapon was found at the scene and there are no indications of foul play.
The truck driver was not injured and cooperated with officials at the incident site. While road rage is not suspected, an investigation is still underway.
A witness spoke to UHP about the crash of the truck, but said they saw nothing else.
"The driver of the car hauler is cooperating with our investigation; those are the only two drivers that are involved and unfortunately the only two witnesses," said Lt. Jalaine Hawkes with the Utah Highway Patrol.
The name of the driver who died on I-15 has not yet been released.
