SALT LAKE CITY — A woman was in critical condition Monday after jumping off the Interstate 15 collector.

Just before 10 a.m., Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce said a woman pulled over while driving in the Spaghetti Bowl, on the fly-over ramp from westbound I-80 to go to westbound on state Route 201.

"Witnesses stated she walked approximately 100 feet from where she parked and jumped off the structure," he said.

The woman fell approximately 35 feet, hitting the I-15 collector below near 2150 South. The freeway was shut down as a medical helicopter landed and took the woman to University Hospital. Royce said she was transported in critical condition.

The woman's name and age were not immediately available.
