A sandstorm was caught on video blanketing a portion of Interstate 15 near Cedar City on Monday, reducing visibility to nearly zero for drivers.
The dust storm was caught on a dash camera around noon by Christian Bonanno. The video shows the storm moving in from the east before completely engulfing the vehicle.
"I did not expect it to be that bad, to be honest," said Bonanno, who was driving from Cedar City to Hurricane. “Visibility went down to like 10 feet, so it wasn’t that much fun.” Utah Highway Patrol troopers advise drivers to stop and pull over before hitting the cloud if they see a sandstorm from a distance, and if they can do so safely.
Last summer, a dust storm in Millard County caused a massive pileup on I-15, resulting in eight deaths.Peak winds in southern Utah reached up to 66 miles per hour around 1 p.m. at the Cedar City Regional Airport. A gust of 58 miles per hour was recorded in Milford just after noon.
