Summit County semitruck rollover injures two, closes I-80 WB for hours

The scene of the crash Thursday.

A semitruck rolled on I-80 near Silver Creek Junction, leaving one person in critical condition and closing all westbound lanes for hours Thursday.

The westbound lanes of I-80 reopened around 10:30 a.m. after a semitruck rollover injuring two people around 5 a.m.

The Utah Department of Transportation said hazmat crews were called to the scene near mile post 146 because oil the trailer was carrying spilled in the accident.

Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Cameron Roden said the semitruck swerved to avoid a vehicle that hit an elk, lost control and rolled.

The tractor trailer hit another other car in the crash, critically injuring the driver.

The semitruck driver went to the hospital with minor injuries.

The names of those involved have not been released.
