SALT LAKE CITY — A semi-truck rollover Wednesday afternoon between I-15 and I-80 was expected to create big delays during the afternoon commute.

At about 2 p.m., a semi hauling produce, heading eastbound on I-80 west to go southbound on I-15, was making the sharp turn at the interchange when it tipped over, said Utah Highway Patrol trooper Todd Johnson.

All traffic heading eastbound on I-80 was being diverted to northbound I-15 Wednesday afternoon.

The semi driver received only minor injuries. No other vehicles were involved.
