As a result of the crash, University Avenue coming into the canyon is closed. However, the ramp from 800 North is still open.

Roden said the driver was transported with minor injuries.

All lanes are estimated to reopen at approximately 3 p.m. Wednesday.

“Most of the loads stay together, but several bales of hay, have broken up and are covering part of the roadway,” Roden said to KSL.
