Tanker rollover closes I-15 on-ramp

SALT LAKE CITY — The onramp to southbound I-15 at 600 North was closed for several hours Thursday morning following a tanker rollover.

A semi-tanker was hauling two pup tanks, each filled with aviation fuel, about 7 a.m. While driving on the onramp, the second trailer rolled and started leaking fuel, said Utah Highway Patrol trooper Cameron Roden.

The onramp was closed for about five hours while emergency crews cleared the wreck. The investigation into why the tanker rolled is ongoing.

Roden said no one was injured and a "minimal amount of fuel" leaked onto the ground.
