SALT LAKE CITY — Parts of Interstate-80 in Salt Lake City were closed Thursday after concrete chunks fell from a dump truck, causing a multi-vehicle accident.

A few injuries were reported, with one driver taken to the hospital in fair condition.

After the accident was cleared, UHP troopers were able to reopen the road.
