A big reason for that is excessive speed. Dwayne Baird with the Utah Department of Public Safety says troopers have written more than 400 citations this year for vehicles going 100 miles an hour or more. In a few cases, drivers have been caught doing 150.</p> Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:36:45 +0000 Dan Bammes 22571 at http://kuer.org Utah's I-80: Speed Kills
