TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — One person was injured and a Utah Highway Patrol vehicle damaged after a series of early morning crashes caused by slick roads Thursday in Taylorsville.
Officials said that the cluster of accidents happened on Interstate 215 near Redwood Road at around 4:45 a.m. Three vehicles were involved in crashes when they spun off the road due to slick conditions, UHP said.
Dash camera footage from the UHP vehicle shows the trooper pull up to the scene before getting out to respond and help the people in the cars that had crashed.

While the trooper was responding to the crashes, a fourth vehicle lost control, spun off the road and hit a trooper's car.
Footage from a video camera angled behind the vehicle shows a pickup truck spinning out of control before the backside of it collides with the trooper's car.

Luckily, officials explained, the trooper was not in the car at the time and was not hurt.
One person was taken to the hospital after the incidents, but their condition was not made immediately available.
UHP reminded Utah drivers that even if roads look clear, they can be slick. Drivers should slow down and watch for slick spots on the roads.
