DRAPER, Utah – A baby is in critical condition following a crash Sunday evening on I-15 that closed northbound lanes.

According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the first accident near 12300 South in Draper set off a chain reaction that involved three more vehicles.

A motorcyclist then put down his motorcycle to avoid the first accident.

A Sprinter then tried to avoid the first car, but collided with it.
