WASHINGTON, Utah — A driver was taken into custody near Washington for reckless driving after crashing into at least five vehicles Tuesday afternoon.

The driver of a black passenger car was driving recklessly and tried to split between cars on the freeway, UHP said.

At least four cars were hit on the Utah side, while one car was hit on the Arizona side, UHP reported.
