UHP trooper struck in crash

DRAPER — A Utah Highway Patrol trooper was involved in a crash as a spring snowstorm created slick roads across much of northern Utah.

The UHP said the trooper had stopped on I-15 near the Bangerter Highway to get some debris out of the freeway's southbound lanes when a car slammed into her.

The trooper was not injured, UHP trooper Cameron Roden said. "Luckily, she was still in the car."

The driver of the car that hit her was reported to be in fair condition with injuries.

Along I-80 near Coalville, a man was critically injured when he lost control on slick roads and slammed into the back of an ice-cream truck that had pulled over to the side of the road. Several lanes of traffic were closed while the accident was being investigated, Roden said.
