NORTH SALT LAKE — An Idaho man driving a semitrailer died Monday after his truck rolled off an I-15 overpass and landed on railroad tracks below.
Dale Eugene Thompson, 62, from Hazleton, Idaho, was killed in the accident just after noon.
The semitrailer was hauling hay and traveling south on I-15 when Thompson took the ramp onto westbound I-215. The tractor-trailer crashed and went over a guardrail and came to rest on the tracks below, the Utah Highway Patrol reported.
Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene.
