TOOELE, Utah — Eastbound traffic had to be diverted on I-80 Sunday afternoon after a semi was blown over by strong winds.

Utah Highway Patrol said this happened around noon in the eastbound lanes along the stretch of I-80 running parallel to the southern edge of the Great Salt Lake.

Fortunately, nobody was injured, but the crash caused eastbound traffic to be diverted at SR-201.

By 3:40 p.m., eastbound I-80 was back open.
