from the article:
No fatalities were reported as of Saturday evening, but UDOT spokesman John Gleason said a double oil tanker crashed on U.S. 189 near Vivian Park in Provo Canyon and shut down traffic in both directions since 10 a.m. As of 5 p.m. Saturday the road remained closed.

According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the semi was hauling two tankers filled with crude oil. It was traveling westbound when it hit a patch of slush, crashed into the median barrier and rolled across all eastbound and westbound lanes

Northern Utah appears to have been a mess yesterday, with I-15 being closed at the Davis/Salt Lake County line. And numerous slide offs on I-80.

We had 7" up here in Vernal to go with 12 degrees. Another wonderful Uintah Basin winter...

I've been in Vernal enough in the winter time, to know I wouldn't want to live there! Even though I love Flaming Gorge, I'd rather live here and make the long drive, than live in Vernal and make the shorter drive.

I've lived here since 1973. Definitely one of the coolest in the state
