TOOELE, Utah — Multiple crashes forced shutdowns of both Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 in the Salt Lake Valley on Friday morning.
All westbound lanes of I-80 were closed to traffic in Tooele after an accident involving two semi trucks that jack-knifed on the highway. At least one lane was reopened as of 6:45 a.m. Eastbound lanes are at a near standstill, although traffic is flowing slowly as crews work to clear the accident.
It's not known if anyone involved in the I-80 accident has been injured.
In the Bluffdale-Draper area, all southbound lanes of I-15 were closed near 14600 South after separate crashes involving five or six vehicles. However, once the southbound lanes were reopened at 6:45 a.m., northbound lanes on I-15 at the same location were closed for an unknown reason.

Minor injuries have been reported in the I-15 accident, and UHP is warning drivers to slow down as roads are very slick due to the storm moving through the area.
