SALT LAKE CITY — The driver of a grey Tesla was killed Sunday afternoon after losing control on US 6, according to the Department of Public Safety. In an X post, the Utah Department of Transportation said the crash happened as the Tesla traveled eastbound at mile marker 259. DPS said the Tesla lost control due to "slick" road conditions from a previous rainstorm and collided with a trailer being towed by a Ram 1500, according to DPS.   "As the Tesla was sideways, it was struck on the driver’s side by a white GMC Yukon," DPS stated. Utah Highway Patrol said the driver of the Tesla was killed at the scene. DPS stated the driver of the GMC sustained minor injuries, while the driver of the Ram 1500 was uninjured. The right lane of the highway was closed after the crash.
