Alcohol and illegal drugs were found inside the car of a man who was killed in a wrong-way, head-on crash on Interstate 15 near Ogden late Tuesday, the Utah Highway Patrol says.

UHP spokesman Dwayne Baird also said that Manuel J. Hernandez, 25, of Ogden, was not wearing a seat belt when his Dodge Neon — southbound in the freeway's northbound lanes, near mile post 346 — slammed into a Ford F-150 pickup truck about 11:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

The pickup rolled, ending up on the off ramp at 21st Street. All five occupants of the pickup were wearing seat belts and were transported to McKay-Dee Hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Baird said Wednesday.

Hernandez, who had to be extricated from the wreckage of his compact car, was rushed by helicopter to Ogden Regional Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
