A semitrailer hauling exercise equipment overturned on a freeway off-ramp Wednesday, blocking the ramp and two lanes of traffic.

The accident occurred about 11:45 a.m. when the semi, "going a little too fast," was exiting state Route 201 to head north on I-215 and overturned on the ramp, said Utah Highway Patrol spokesman Cameron Roden.

No injuries were reported, but the accident closed S.R. 201 eastbound off-ramp and two northbound lanes on I-215. Roden said the accident should be cleaned up by 1:30 p.m.
