HEBER CITY — Eastbound lanes of U.S. 189 are reopened near the southern tip of Deer Creek Reservoir following a crash, but further delays are still expected.

No injuries were reported after a truck pulling a travel trailer and a second trailer crashed, according to Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Cam Roden. The lead trailer disconnected from the truck, causing both trailers to jackknife and become wedged between the railing and concrete barrier, he said.

The Utah Department of Transportation said the roadway was cleared at 11:43 a.m. but advised drivers to "expect residual delays" in the area.
