COURTESY OF UTAH HIGHWAY PATROL A semi-truck that caught fire closed eastbound Interstate 80 at the Silver Creek junction Wednesday morning, causing significant congestion in a commute already impacted by snowy conditions. According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the semi-truck caught fire near the U.S. 40 interchange at roughly 7:30 a.m. The incident closed the interstate and the ramp to U.S. 40. The ramp and left lane were reopened shortly after, and the entire interstate was opened around 10:10 a.m. Traffic on eastbound I-80 was seen backed up as far as Jeremy Ranch as commuters dealt with the closure, as well as backups on the Kimball Junction interchange due to the weather.

Continued from A-4 “It stretches us pretty thin if there are other situations that occur outside of the impacts of Sundance,” Wright said. With no major demonstrations in Park City anticipated this year, the Sheriff’s Office will be able to dedicate most of its resources to law enforcement in the county. The Respect Rally drew a crowd of roughly 2,500 people to City Park last year and the most notable event, the Women’s March on Main in 2017, attracted an estimated 9,000 people. In 2016, an unexpected controversy emerged during the festival when two private helicopter companies shuttled festival-goers between Salt Lake City and a landing zone along Old Ranch Road, sparking several complaints from nearby residents. The helipad at the Sheriff’s Office was eyed as a potential landing site. The Summit County Council later passed an ordinance banning helicopter landings in the Basin. Wright doesn’t anticipate anything similar happening this year. “Over the last few years, it seems like Sundance has been fairly mellow,” Wright said. “I think that could be because we have gotten a better handle on the operations of Sundance and understanding what we need to provide as far as resources for venues as they have continued to expand out into the county.” Sheriff’s Office role the film festival to help. Wright anticipates that bookins at the Summit County Jail will increase. He said most of the arrests involve people who are intoxicated, adding that “When you have an increase in population, you will have more issues and those typically have to do with alcohol or fights.” STEM CELL THERAPY FOR PAIN PRESENTED BY: Join us for Our Seminars Held at our Park City Office Tuesday, January 8th — 12:00pm Tuesday, January 15th — 12:00pm Tuesday, January 22nd — 12:00pm Tuesday, January 29th — 12:00pm JOHN LAWRENCE M.D. DO YOU SUFFER FROM… REGAN ARCHIBALD, LAC, DIPL OM Board Certified Physicians specializing in Regenerative and Functional Medicine • Tendonitis • Dementia • Autoimmunity • Chronic Pain • Thyroid Issues • Lung Issues • Nerve Damage • Inflammation Call Today 435-640-1353 Find out if Surgery-Free, stem cell treatments can help relieve your joint pain and get your life back! • Back Pain • Knee Pain • Shoulder Pain • Hip Pain • Osteoarthritis • Neuropathy • Plantar Fasciitis East West Health 1790 Sun Peak Dr., #A-102 Park City, UT 84098 |
