SALT LAKE CITY – A 34-year-old woman was killed in a wreck that took traffic to a standstill on I-15 Friday morning.
The Utah Highway Patrol said Amber Orencole of Midvale died in the wreck at 600 S. on I-15 northbound.
Troopers said a grass fire closed one lane and compounded the usual morning rush-hour traffic.
Orencole, in a silver GMC pickup truck, hit her brakes, lost control and went sideways into another lane.
A white semi truck in that lane T-boned her truck, instantly killing her.
Authorities said Orencole’s truck ended up in the left emergency lane up against the concrete barrier.
UHP is investigating the accident.
