SALT LAKE CITY — The two right lanes of northbound I-15 near the 600 South offramp were blocked for about an hour following a rollover accident Monday afternoon.

Investigators believe a car was cut off by another driver who may have hesitated about staying on the interstate or exiting, said Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Nigbur. It caused the car to swerve and roll near the offramp.

Of the three women in the car, one suffered a severely broken leg and the other two had minor injuries.

The right two lanes were blocked for about an hour.
