Southbound I-15 at Layton partially reopened after accident, chemical spill

LAYTON — A traffic accident that has created a hazardous materials incident has closed two lanes of southbound Interstate 15 near Layton Parkway.

Susan Thomas, public information officer for the Department of Public Safety, said the accident occurred about 4 p.m. near mile marker 330.

Utah Transit Authority spokesman Steve Allmat said FrontRunner has been stopped between Layton and Farmington because of the accident. A bus is transporting passengers between the two locations.

Thomas said a truck rolled on the interstate, hit the barricades and came close to the railroad tracks.

All southbound traffic is being rerouted and getting back onto the freeway in Kaysville, she said.

More information will be provided on standard.net as it becomes available.
