Due mainly to bad weather there were three accidents within one hour on Friday morning in the western part of Summit County.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the first accident happened at 8.43 a.m. when a man from Coalville lost control of his Chevy Trailblazer as he was traveling westbound on Interstate 80 near the Kimball Junction exit. His Chevy hit the cement barrier before crossing both westbound lanes, and then overturned. He was transported to the University Of Utah Hospital after suffering head lacerations.
At the time the roads were wet and there were patches of black ice. Neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to be a factor.
Around half an hour later, a man driving a white Chevy pickup truck was traveling on the same part of I 80 near Kimball Junction when he lost control of his vehicle as he was coming round the very same curve and hit the same cement barrier. In this case the man was uninjured.
About 15 minutes later, a 27 year old Salt Lake City man suffered a seizure, causing the vehicle he was driving to hit the guardrail near the Jeremy Ranch exit. He was uninjured and reportedly suffered from a history of seizures. He was picked up at the scene by a family member.
