Bountiful • Utah Highway Patrol officials say a tanker rollover crash closed a portion of Interstate 15 near Bountiful for several hours Sunday.
A semitrailer was hauling a main tanker and a second smaller trailer when the smaller trailer rolled for an unknown reason at about 8 a.m. Sunday. The interstate reopened just after 1:30 p.m.
Highway Patrol officials say the crash caused the smaller trailer to rupture.
The trailer was hauling compressed calcium chloride, a chemical used for de-icing.
It’s unclear how many gallons spilled or how many gallons the tanker was hauling.
According to the Highway Patrol, the chemical that spilled isn’t explosive and doesn’t pose a health risk to residents in the area.
Nobody was injured in the rollover.
