PLEASANT GROVE, Utah County, Utah, Nov. 6, 2026 — Three people were hurt in a three-vehicle crash on Wednesday afternoon, November 4, at the northbound I-15 exit ramp to Pleasant Grove Boulevard in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
The crash involved a Toyota Camry, a Honda Civic and a Jeep Cherokee, according to Lt. Zach Randall with the Utah Highway Patrol. The Utah Department of Transportation closed the exit ramp at 3:48 p.m. as crews worked the scene, though the exact time of the crash was not released.
The driver of the Camry was reported in extremely critical condition. A second person was listed in critical condition, and a third suffered minor injuries, Utah Highway Patrol said.

Our thoughts are with those who were injured, and we wish them a full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does limited visibility or ramp congestion contribute to multi-vehicle crashes like this one?
Exit ramps usually force sudden speed changes as traffic merges or slows, and any delay in a driver noticing stopped or slowing vehicles ahead can trigger a chain-reaction crash involving several cars.
Why does following distance matter so much in these situations?
Leaving enough space between vehicles gives drivers time to react if traffic ahead stops abruptly, which is especially important near highway exits where speeds vary widely.
Are secondary crashes common after an initial wreck on a highway ramp?
Yes. Stopped or slowed traffic from an earlier crash can catch following drivers off guard, so agencies frequently close lanes or ramps, as happened here, to prevent additional collisions.
What makes multi-vehicle crashes harder to investigate than two-car wrecks?
Investigators have to reconstruct the order of impacts between more vehicles, interview more witnesses, and determine how each collision affected the others before any single cause can be confirmed.
