DRAPER, Utah — A baby is in critical condition after a crash on I-15 Sunday night, and the aftermath led to the closure of northbound lanes.
The initial crash near 12300 South in Draper caused a chain reaction involving three more vehicles, according to Utah Highway Patrol officials.
UHP said the first vehicle, a Range Rover, with two adults and two children on board, spun out because it was going too fast for the wet road. The SUV then hit a Ford Mustang and then crashed into the wall before coming to a stop, facing the wrong way.
A Sprinter van then tried to avoid the Range Rover — which came to a stop facing the wrong way after the initial crash — but collided with it head-on.
A motorcycle rider then laid their bike down in an attempt to avoid the initial crash.
The children and their mother from the Range Rover were taken to the hospital for their injuries. One of the children, a 16-month-old boy, is reportedly in critical condition. All others involved suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to UHP.
Northbound I-15 was closed for a few hours as first responders transported the victims to the hospital and as crews cleaned up the scene.
