### Dramatic Accident on I-15
On December 17, a major accident occurred on Interstate 15, just a couple of days ago, though its impact is still being felt. A driver, attempting to flee an accident she allegedly caused, drove her Dodge Charger the wrong way on the highway. This reckless maneuver led to a series of collisions, resulting in her car bursting into flames. Fortunately, three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and the driver was transported to the hospital. The incident caused significant traffic backups on northbound I-15 before traffic resumed around 10:30 a.m.[1].

### Winter Weather

### Pollen Count
Despite the cold, pollen levels are still a consideration, albeit low. Currently, the pollen index is low, with top allergens including cypress, juniper, and cedar. However, these levels are significantly lower than during the peak pollen seasons in spring and summer[3].
