SALT LAKE CITY — All but one lane of eastbound Interstate 80 near the Emigration Canyon exit in Parleys Canyon is closed due to a mudslide.

Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Cameron Roden said the slide led to two single-vehicle crashes. One person received minor injuries in one of the crashes.

Utah Department of Transportation crews were working to clear the debris and no time for reopening the road was given. One lane was opened after crews were able to partially clear the roadway.
