A 19-year-old West Valley man was killed in a rollover accident on the freeway early Saturday.

About 2:45 a.m., the driver and a passenger, also 19, were taking the ramp to go from northbound I-15 to westbound I-215. The driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a concrete barrier on the left side of the road, said Utah Highway Patrol trooper Cameron Roden. The vehicle rolled several times, ejecting the driver who was not wearing a seat belt, he said.

Toeuth Loeuth was transported to a local hospital where he later died, Roden said. The passenger was taken to the hospital in fair condition.

Although it was cloudy, the roads were dry at the time of the accident. Speed and alcohol were being investigated as possible factors in the crash, Roden said.
