EUREKA, Juab County — Westbound U.S. 6 has reopened in southwestern Utah County after a trailer with cars crashed and rolled several miles east of Eureka on Friday, troopers said.

The crash occurred on westbound U.S. 6 at about 8:15 a.m., according to the Department of Transportation. Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Cam Roden said the trailer rolled but the truck hauling it did not and no injuries were reported.

The trailer initially blocked all westbound lanes and part of the eastbound highway, according to Roden, who said one of the cars from the trailer "may have gone off the road into the canyon."

Crews were still cleaning up blockage on the shoulder of the highway, but all lanes had reopened as of 10:40 a.m., per UDOT.
