Orem, UT (March 11, 2025) — A serious crash involving a motorhome on Interstate 15 in Orem left two people with significant injuries and caused major traffic disruptions on Tuesday, March 11.
Authorities responded to the scene near University Parkway after reports of a motorhome that had gone off the right side of the highway while pulling an SUV. The vehicle struck a concrete barrier before rolling onto its side. The SUV, which was being towed by the motorhome, was propelled over the barrier during the crash.
Emergency responders transported two passengers from the motorhome to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. Their current conditions have not been released.
The crash led to heavy traffic delays as all but the HOV lane of southbound I-15 were closed while crews worked to clear the wreckage. Officials have not disclosed what may have caused the accident, and an investigation remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with those injured in this crash, and we wish them a full recovery.
Motor Vehicle Accidents in Utah
Traffic accidents are a common occurrence across Utah, with thousands of crashes reported each year. The Utah Department of Public Safety notes that distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving remain leading causes of serious crashes across the state.
Understanding the risks associated with highway travel can help drivers stay safe. Here are some of the most common injuries sustained in crashes:
- Head and Brain Injuries — Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions are common in high-impact crashes. These injuries can have long-term effects on cognitive function, memory, and overall well-being.
- Spinal Cord Damage — Injuries to the spinal cord can result in temporary or permanent paralysis, making them some of the most life-altering outcomes of car accidents.
- Broken Bones — Fractures can occur due to the force of impact, often requiring surgery and long recovery periods.
- Internal Injuries — Blunt force trauma can lead to internal bleeding or organ damage, which may not be immediately apparent after an accident.
- Soft Tissue Damage — Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries can cause chronic pain and reduced mobility, sometimes requiring extensive physical therapy.
