MURRAY — All lanes are back open after a rollover crash involving a semitruck that lost its load, forcing the closure of all westbound lanes near the interchange of I-15 and I-215 on Monday afternoon.
Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Mike Alexander said a semitruck rolled on its side near I-215 and 700 West. He said the cause of the rollover was unknown, but the truck was hauling steel beams that spilled across the road.
The steel beams somehow made contact with a passenger in a car with two people inside, and Alexander said both of those people sustained minor injuries from the crash.
The incident was prompting significant delays for commuters in the area.
UDOT said westbound lanes of I-215 south at the I-15 junction near 700 West, near the border of Murray and Midvale, were closed. Northbound I-15 to westbound I-215 was also closed for a time due to crews at the scene.
As of 6 p.m., the Utah Department of Transportation said the lanes had reopened and drivers should plan for congestion through the area.
