St. George, UT (August 5, 2025) Yesterday afternoon, Monday, August 4, at approximately 2:30 p.m., a semi truck and a passenger car collided on southbound Interstate 15 near Exit 6 in St. George. Although the crash did not block traffic lanes, drivers should use caution when traveling in the area.
Initial reports indicate that a fully loaded semi truck and a smaller car collided under unclear circumstances. The impact caused significant damage to the front of the car and visible side damage to the trailer of the semi. Emergency medical teams, local fire crews, and St. George Police Department units arrived at the scene within minutes. Despite the severity of the crash, no lanes were closed.
Authorities confirmed that at least one person in the passenger vehicle sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. That individual received medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries, including possible head trauma or soft tissue damage. Details on the extent of their condition remain private at this time.
Officers from the St. George Police Department led the investigation. They collected statements from both drivers and witnesses, inspected damage patterns, and examined vehicle positions. Although traffic continued to flow due to unobstructed lanes, troopers set up warning signage to slow passing vehicles.
Investigators are considering whether speed, distraction, or sudden maneuvering contributed to the crash. The investigation is ongoing, and officials have not released any conclusions about fault or whether citations will be issued.
We send our best wishes for a smooth and full recovery to those injured in this crash.

Crashes between large commercial trucks and smaller vehicles are among the most dangerous types of collisions on Utah freeways. Even when lanes remain clear, the force of impact from heavy vehicles can injure drivers and passengers in lighter cars. In cities like St. George, which experience high truck traffic, vigilance is essential.
Victims in crashes with heavy vehicles may suffer from whiplash, concussions, broken bones, or internal injuries. Immediate medical evaluations, such as x rays or scans, are often necessary, along with follow up appointments and physical therapy.
