According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 5 p.m. on eastbound I-80 near mile marker 74.
The driver of a gray SUV drifted to the left and onto a dirt shoulder of the road for an unknown reason. The driver then over-corrected back to the right, causing the SUV to leave the roadway.
