Crews in Orem worked to clear a tanker that rolled on its side. Police say the driver was going too fast for the slick conditions while coming out of Provo Canyon and rolled on 800 North around 2:30 a.m.
The driver was not injured but a small amount of oil spilled on the roadway. Some lane restrictions remain in place.
Earlier Wednesday morning, another rollover was reported on southbound I-15 in Clearfield. And the Utah Highway Patrol says three semis jackknifed on I-15 near Santaquin.
Interstate 80 is closed at Evanston, Wyo., due to weather.
Restrictions for semis in Parleys Canyon have been lifted. Chains or four-wheel drive are no longer required in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons.
