WOODS CROSS — A person was killed Saturday morning in a multivehicle crash on I-15 near Woods Cross, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.

A silver sedan was traveling north at a high rate of speed when it struck the rear of a semitruck, according to Utah Highway Patrol officer Davies Sanchez.

The semitruck lost control after the collision and struck three other vehicles, according to Sanchez. The driver of the silver sedan was killed in the crash, and Sanchez said another person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Northbound I-15 was closed at 2600 South at 7:33 a.m. while investigators examined the scene. I-15 reopened shortly before noon on Saturday, but the Utah Department of Transportation said heavy residual congestion remains.
