WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah — The driver of a pickup truck was killed in a rollover crash on I-15 Sunday afternoon in southern Utah.
Around 4:40 p.m., the Ford pickup was heading south near milepost 34 (about eight miles south of Kanarraville) when the driver apparently lost control.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the truck was hauling a "travel trailer," as well as a second trailer with a UTV. The rear trailer "began to whip and caused the pickup to veer off the right side of the road," UHP wrote in a press release. The trailers became detached from the truck, which rolled over.
The driver, whose name or age have not yet been released, suffered fatal injuries. He was the only person in the truck, and no other vehicles were involved.

Southbound I-15 was fully closed for a short time, followed by "intermittent" closures with one lane being reopened.
As of about 8 p.m., a significant amount of traffic was still visibly backed up on Utah Department of Transportation cameras.
