The driver of a Maserati going the wrong way on northbound lanes of Interstate 15 in Weber County, Utah, caused a head-on collision with another vehicle early on January 6, leaving the drivers of both vehicles injured.The moment of the crash was captured on dashcam by a driver with A2B Taxi Service, based in the nearby town of Layton. In the video, the taxi driver, who was moving along a southbound lane of I-15, is heard making a call to 911 to report a “white sports car” moving southbound on northbound lanes. At 35 seconds, the backlights of a car driving head-on into northbound traffic are seen on the left side of the video.As the taxi driver is providing information to the 911 dispatcher, the Maserati collides head-on with another vehicle, causing what appears to be a small explosion. The taxi driver shouts in shock when the crash occurs, and tells the dispatcher that he was hit by debris.According to Fox 13 citing the Utah Department of Public Safety, the driver of the Maserati was intoxicated and was later arrested by the Utah Highway Patrol. The report said the wrong-way driver sustained minor cuts and bruises while the other driver, whose car reportedly “flipped over the barrier into southbound traffic,” sustained a broken pelvis.
