Driver killed in semi rollover crash; WB I-80 reopened

PARLEYS CANYON, Utah — A semi-truck driver was killed in a fatal rollover in Parleys Canyon Monday.

According to Sgt. Cameron Roden with Utah Highway Patrol, the crash occurred on westbound Interstate 80 between mileposts 136 and 137.

“A semi has hit the left median wall and overturned then slide to the right, blocking the right-hand lanes,” Roden said.

The driver was found dead but has not been identified.

Westbound I-80 was closed for several hours into Tuesday morning and drivers were detoured through Provo Canyon. It has since reopened.
