The driver of a semitrailer that rolled onto its side Thursday morning watches crews work to right the vehicle, which tipped over on the interchange ramp from westbound I-215 to southbound I-15 in Salt Lake City. The Utah Highway Patrol suspects the truck's load shifted, causing the accident.

A semitrailer hauling large bundles of paper overturned Thursday on the circular ramp connecting I-215 west to I-15 south.
Troopers said the driver, who sustained "bumps and bruises," was speeding as she entered the ramp.
"It was a combination of her going a little fast and that a load shifted in the back as she was coming around the circular ramp," said Utah Highway Patrol spokesman Cameron Roden.
Drivers heading on I-215 west had to detour in order to connect with I-15 south, but by 4 p.m., the ramp was open.
