TOOELE COUNTY, Utah, Jan. 3, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — A semi rolled in Tooele County on Thursday morning, causing only minor injuries to the driver, but putting a major crimp in the morning commute.

“WB I-80 is shut down right now near the SR 202 junction after a semi rolled from the EB lanes to WB lanes,” said a tweet from the Utah Highway Patrol that was posted at about 3 a.m.

“No other vehicles involved. The semi is hauling car parts. Cleanup may impact the a.m. commute. Use SR201 as an alternate route.”

The scene is now clear.
