SANDY, Utah — A multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 15 in Sandy caused significant delays for morning commuters traveling toward Salt Lake City Thursday. The crash occurred in the northbound lanes near 9800 South, involving a white van that appeared to collide with the rear of an SUV.
As a result of the accident, most lanes of I-15 were shut down for an extended period to allow emergency responders to clear the scene. Traffic quickly backed up as drivers were forced to navigate alternate routes.
By 10:30 a.m., authorities confirmed that all lanes had been reopened, and traffic was flowing normally again. At this time, it remains unclear whether any individuals were injured in the crash. Further details about the incident, including the cause, are still under investigation.
Commuters who were affected by the delays have been advised to stay updated on road conditions as cleanup continues.
