MAGNA, Utah — A blown-out tire on a semi-truck caused a fire off to the side of Interstate 80 on Saturday evening, resulting in the full closure of westbound lanes for several hours.
Utah Highway Patrol said the semi blew a tire around 5 p.m. near milepost 107, just west of the Tooele-Salt Lake county line. The tire caught on fire, which then spread into the brush off the edge of the right shoulder of the freeway.
Fortunately, nobody was injured…
