PARLEY’S CANYON, UT – A police chase in Summit County later prompted a rollover crash in Salt Lake County Tuesday.
According to ABC 4, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office tried to pull over a silver SUV at SR 224 and Bear Cub before 1 a.m.. However, the driver did not listen, returned to the car, and took off, which began the police pursuit.
When the driver approached a corner in the area of I-80 and I-215, the SUV collided with the median before overturning and crashing into another part of I-215 around 2:30 a.m.
