This is just heartbreaking to hear about. We all need to be more careful and alert when driving. We hold not only our own lives, but the lives of others, in our hands, when we get behind the wheel.

I was right behind this accident and there was nothing left of the victims car. You could immediately tell there was a fatality. Such a sad loss of a young man. People, PLEASE stay alert of what youre doing at all times. Get off your freakin cell phones, stop the texting, turn the music down, etc. You never know when you or another person could change a life forever.

I saw this accident as I was headed Southbound - it was horrific. Unfortunately in the past 3 years that I've been doing a daily commute from Provo to Salt Lake it's not the first I've seen. Most every day I pass a fender bender and 3 times really serious incidents including a roll over, a fatal crash, and one other where I felt sick to my stomach for hours afterwards.

People really need to slow down and have more patience driving. Being late is better than not arriving at all.

The man who died was my best friend's husband. They were going to celebrate their second wedding anniversary soon. Words cannot express the grief his family feels at his loss. Our love and prayers are with them.

I'm the widow of the man who died in the accident. We are holding a viewing for him today. I feel for anyone who has lost a person in their lives, especially a husband, a father or a son.
