Richard Mckay, 69, was northbound on I-15 near Exit 363, at Forest Street, when his Toyota Camry crossed through the earthen area between the freeway and the off-ramp, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
The Camry hit a delineator post, then went across the off-ramp and off the side of the road, UHP reported. The car continued down to a small ditch and fence, rolling several times.
