CLEARFIELD — A loose trailer hitch crashed into a semitruck driver’s windshield after another car kicked it up Sunday afternoon.

Clp. Luis Silva with the Utah Highway Patrol told KSL TV that the trailer hitch damaged eight cars and one semi traveling southbound on Interstate 15 near 650 North in Clearfield.

“We were just coming into Clearfield Pass on the 650 exit when a large hitch fell off a pickup truck. About two lanes over from us, slid into our lane and hit our vehicle, causing a flat tire,” said Marc Guimond.

Silva said the cars only suffered flat tires while the semi sustained damage to its windshield. No one was reported injured during this incident.

Guimond told KSL TV that it looked like his car’s alignment was thrown off along with the tire damage.
