Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crashes Close I-15 Utah, I-35W Texas

A series of fatal crashes disrupted major highways in Texas and Utah. In Fort Worth, Texas, a multi-vehicle accident on southbound I-35W near Everman Parkway left one person dead and caused significant traffic backups to I-20, with details on other victims still pending. Meanwhile, in Payson, Utah, a wrong-way crash on I-15 resulted in the deaths of two drivers after a northbound SUV crossed the median and collided head-on with a Jeep, also leading to extensive southbound lane closures and severe traffic delays. Another vehicle was damaged in the Utah crash, but that driver sustained only minor injuries. Authorities in both states have urged drivers to seek alternate routes as investigations and cleanup continued, with Utah officials expecting lanes to remain closed for several hours.
