Explosive afternoon for UHP on I-80

Troopers say around 11 a.m. a Dodge pickup truck was eastbound when a white pickup truck cut it off. That caused the driver of the Dodge to lose control. The Dodge somehow went through a small opening in the road barrier that is designed for emergency vehicles only. The Dodge collided head-on with a Fed-Ex delivery semi truck which was pulling three trailers of cargo. The driver of the Dodge died instantly; the driver of the semi was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition.
The collision caused both vehicles to catch fire. The Fed-Ex truck was transporting ammunition, which added an extra hazard to the scene. Ammunition has been going off periodically due to a fire that started in the cab and moved back to the first trailer. The other trailers did not catch on fire. The fire department did an excellent job of putting the flames down.
Two things are worth mentioning here. The first is that Utah drivers are the worst I have ever seen on any roads, anywhere. Admittedly I have not driven in New York, Tokyo, Mexico City or Cairo. But they are much nicer and more skilled in Los Angeles than here. Secondly, it sort of boggles my mind why ammunition was being transported in the daytime by road, with lots of drivers around. Road transport should be the absolute last resort and done only during the later hours of darkness.
Lastly, my thoughts go to the family of the driver of the Dodge pickup. May God bless you in your grief.
