(KSL News) Two people were injured in a crash early this morning on I-15.
The Deseret News reports it happened just north of the Lehi Main Street exit around 1 a.m. Troopers told the paper a man on a motorcycle likely was speeding when he rear-ended a car. The force knocked off the cyclist's helmet and threw him from the bike.
Three more cars crashed as drivers tried to avoid the initial wreck.
The cyclist was flown to the hospital in critical condition. Another man went to the hospital with minor injuries.
Traffic was diverted off the freeway for about three hours while crews cleaned up the mess.
