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.
Sgt. Mike Alexander with the Utah Highway Patrol said four cars were involved, including the semi-truck, which was hauling, but did not provide details on what caused the crash.
One person has reportedly suffered moderate injuries.
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.
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 7:45 a.m., UDOT's traffic monitor website showed traffic was stop-and-go as far back as the I-215 interchange near 6400 South, nearly seven miles south of the crash site.
By 9 a.m., crews opened all lanes of traffic, but UDOT said drivers should continue to expect major delays.
