LEHI — Northbound I-15 in Lehi was temporarily closed Wednesday evening after a crash seriously injured a driver.

Utah Highway Patrol said a Chevy Malibu was traveling north at a high rate of speed between the American Fork and Lehi Main Street exits. Sgt. Cameron Roden said the car hit the right wall, then bounced back into traffic and collided with a semitruck.

Roden said the semitruck continued driving and did not stop. The Malibu driver was extricated and reported to be in serious condition.

The incident remains under investigation, but alcohol may be a contributor, Roden said.
