MURRAY — A semitruck hydroplaned while traveling onto southbound I-15 from westbound I-215 in Murray on Saturday, crashing and completely blocking the ramp.

The crash occurred at approximately 10:01 a.m. Saturday, according to the Utah Department of Transportation. Another semitruck following behind the first that was not involved in the crash was forced to go around the crashed truck.

No injuries were reported in connection with the crash, according to Sgt. Andrew Battenfield with the Utah Highway Patrol, and no other cars were involved. Battenfield added that it is not easy to turn the truck around.

Traffic will be diverted until the ramp is cleared and open, and the Utah Department of Transportation did not give an estimated clearance time.
