‘Jackknifed semi’ leaking fuel closed I-15 near Lamb Boulevard

All northbound lanes were closed Saturday night on Interstate 15 at Lamb Boulevard due to a crash involving a semi-truck, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

Troopers responded to a call for service at 9:13 p.m. Saturday and found the jackknifed semi when they arrived, the Highway Patrol said.

The semi-truck was reportedly heading south on I-15, failing to travel in its lane, then continued into the center median before re-entering the northbound travel lanes on I-15, according to a text message from trooper Shawn Haggstrom.

Though the semi-truck was leaking fuel on the highway, no injuries were reported and there was no danger to the public, troopers said.

Traffic had been diverted to the Lamb Boulevard on-ramp at I-15 north while crews cleaned the area and the truck was removed from the road.
