Anyone hear of accident on I80 in E. UT?

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone had heard of an accident on I80 in Utah about 15 miles west of the WY border by the POE. I was coming up last night from my run and saw a flat bed tow truck hauling a flattened car. Later on up the road I saw what was left of an ABF truck and its doubles. I dont know exactly what happened but it looked ugly for sure.

Morgan County man dies in I-80 collision

The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated: 05/26/2008 01:01:33 AM MDT




A Morgan County man died Saturday when a semitrailer crushed his car on Interstate 80. Chad D. Loftus, 39, of Croydon, died at the scene. The accident happened at about 11:30 a.m. near the Echo port of entry. Loftus was driving west in a 2000 Ford Escort. His car drifted off the left side then he overcorrected to the right and collided with the semitrailer, UHP said. Both vehicles went off the right side of the road and the semitrailer rolled on top of the Escort. The truck's driver was flown to a hospital, but is expected to survive. UHP said alcohol was a factor in the crash but did not elaborate.
