A wrong-way driver on I-80 Westbound in Salt Lake County caused a head-on collision with a truck pulling a horse trailer. The crash led to the closure of the westbound lanes near Great Saltair, prompting drivers to use alternate routes. The incident resulted in significant delays for Memorial Day travelers on I-80 and other highways in the area. Multiple crashes on I-15 Southbound and Northbound also caused lane blockages and traffic congestion in various locations.
Delays on NB 15 now stretch from 4500 South in Murray to 600 South downtown SLC due to 2-different crashes. The one below at the Spaghetti Bowl (2100 South) and another near 1300 South: https://t.co/clq9ZFrvAx
