SALT LAKE CITY — A woman was killed early Sunday after driving the wrong way onto an off-ramp on Interstate 15 in Salt Lake City.
Utah Highway Patrol says that at approximately 4:15 a.m., the unidentified woman in a red Mazda 3 entered the 600 South off-ramp and struck an SUV traveling on the eastbound I-80 ramp to southbound I-15.
It is not believed that the woman in the Mazda was wearing a seat belt at the time of the head on collision with the SUV.
The SUV driver was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Officials say I-80 eastbound to the I-15 southbound ramp was shut down for about four hours after the accident before it was reopened.
