CEDAR CITY — Multiple crashes on Interstate 15 in southern Utah were reported early Tuesday afternoon within an hour of the National Weather Service's alert warning motorists of a snow squall passing through the area (see map).
According to the UDOT Traffic website, just after 1 p.m. multiple crashes were reported on northbound I-15 near mile marker 52, just north of the Hamilton Fort exit southwest of Cedar City in Iron County.
The series of crashes involved multiple semitrucks and passenger cars, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Randy Riches told Cedar City News.
Traffic on northbound I-15 is reportedly being diverted off the interstate at exits 51 and 42.
