The Utah Highway Patrol says dispatch received calls of a wrong-way driver heading west on SR 201 around 11:40 p.m. Before troopers could intercept the vehicle, a call came in of a collision on SR 201 near 6200 West.
UHP officials say a minivan collided head-on with a silver car, which led to a black pickup truck then side-swiping the silver car immediately after.
The mini\van driver, along with the driver and passenger of the car, were extricated from their vehicles and transported to the hospital in serious to critical condition. The driver of the pickup truck was hospitalized in serious condition.
