NORTH SALT LAKE — A woman is facing criminal charges after police say she visited three bars and had a blood-alcohol content three times the legal limit before driving the wrong way on I-15 and causing a fatal head-on crash.
Just before 2 a.m. on Feb. 1, Ramos entered I-15 heading south in the northbound lanes off of U.S. 89, according to charging documents. She was traveling the wrong way for only two minutes before she just missed hitting one vehicle, police say, and then, near the Salt Lake County-Davis County border. Investigators estimate Ramos was going 60 mph when she hit Cannon head-on.
Ramos told investigators that she had been working until about 9:30 p.m. or 10 p.m. and then got a drink with a friend after work. But detectives said they learned that Ramos had been to "three different bars throughout the Salt Lake Valley" that night and left the last bar at 1:17 a.m. Her blood-alcohol content at the time of the crash was 0.16%, the charges state.
The Utah Highway Patrol identified on Wednesday a 40-year-old man from Bountiful who was killed in a wrong-way crash on northbound I-15 in North Salt Lake on Feb. 1. Another person was seriously injured in the crash.
