Near milepost 328, a Kaysville Police Officer responded to the alert for the wrong-way driver and entered I-15 on the southbound 200 North ramp.
Utah Highway Patrol said the officer “immediately encountered” the wrong-way driver in a Tesla, who was driving in the HOV lane.
“The officer crossed the dirt gore area between the ramp and I-15, crossed all lanes of I-15 and collided with the northbound Tesla in the front fender area, stropping the vehicle,” UHP stated.
