Semi rollover disrupts northbound traffic on I-15 in Salt Lake
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A semi-truck tipped onto its side blocked several northbound lanes on Interstate 15 in Salt Lake City.
The crash was first reported by the Utah Department of Transportation around 6:20 a.m. and was located at the top of the on-ramp from 1300 South.
Traffic cameras in the area showed the truck rolled over, blocking multiple lanes to the right of the highway. First responders arrived on scene and blocked two more lanes, leaving only one lane open for through traffic.
It is currently unclear what caused the semi-truck to rollover or if there were any injuries as a result of the crash.
UDOT advised drivers to expect major delays on I-15 and to use an alternate route, such as I-215 or State Street.
As of 7 a.m., UDOT’s traffic monitor website showed traffic was at a near standstill as far back as 3300 South, nearly five miles south of the crash site.
No estimate for when I-15 would reopen was immediately available.
