MONA, Utah — Southbound lanes of Interstate 15 in Juab County have reopened following a semi crash that caused fuel to spill onto the roadway near Mona.
According to Utah Highway Patrol, the crash happened just before noon when a semi lost its driveline and punctured holes in the vehicle's fuel tank. What led up to the truck's driveline failing isn't known.
Troopers tell FOX 13 News that an estimated 75 gallons of diesel fuel were spilled on the roadway. Crews are working to clean up the spill, which prompted the closure of the interstate.
