A semi that was ahead of several passenger vehicles on I-80 in Tooele attempted to slow down after seeing inclement conditions due to high winds in the area. Due to the low visibility, several of the vehicles behind the slowing semi crashed into it near mile marker 68. A second semi then crashed into these passenger vehicles from behind. The accident involved a total of at least six semitrucks and 11 passenger vehicles. A man in his 50s in one of the passenger vehicles was killed, and at least 25 people were injured. Of the injured, 18 were hospitalized.
