SOUTH SALT LAKE — A semitruck rollover crash forced temporary closure of several on-ramps onto eastbound I-80 Wednesday afternoon.

The ramps included, northbound I-15 to eastbound I-80, southbound I-15 to eastbound I-80, and SR-201 to eastbound I-80, according to a tweet from the Utah Highway Patrol.

UHP officials said the semitruck showed a placard for explosives but didn't end up being a threat to the public.

Authorities also received reports of a grass fire but said a fire in the semitruck was put out quickly.
