TOOELE, Utah — An early Wednesday morning crash involving a motorcyclist slowed traffic for a large part of the morning. According to Utah Highway Patrol, the motorcyclist was critically injured in the wreck.

The victim had to be flown to the hospital via medical helicopter.

Both lanes of the interstate were blocked at one point, but have since opened up one lane.
