Sandy, UT (August 1, 2025) – A multi-vehicle collision occurred Thursday near the Sandy Civic Center at the intersection of W 9800 S and the northbound I-15 on-ramp, leaving at least one person injured. The crash prompted a swift emergency response and led to lane disruptions during a busy period near one of Sandy’s major transportation hubs.
The incident took place in the early afternoon and involved vehicles attempting to merge onto I-15 NB from W 9800 S. Due to the complexity of traffic flow in the area—where local, commercial, and interstate traffic converge—accidents at this location are not uncommon.
Emergency crews from Sandy Fire and Rescue arrived promptly to assist those involved. Paramedics provided treatment to the injured at the scene and transported at least one individual to a local hospital for additional care. Witnesses at the nearby TRAX station reported seeing vehicles with front-end damage and one person being loaded into an ambulance.
Traffic around the Civic Center was temporarily rerouted as first responders cleared the vehicles and worked with Sandy Police to investigate the cause of the crash. While full details have not yet been released, authorities are evaluating whether merging conflicts or driver inattention played a role in the collision.
We extend our best wishes to those injured and hope for a complete recovery.
