There were no injuries in an accident on SR-191 north of Vernal on Wednesday afternoon. According to Utah Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at Mile Marker 365 around 4:00 pm. A semi traveling southbound crossed into oncoming traffic on a curve and was struck by another semi, shares UHP. One of the semis was carrying steel and overturned, spilling its load. Both lanes were closed for clean up. After several hours one lane was opened up. UHP confirms that the driver wasn’t speeding but was going too fast for the conditions. He will be cited for the accident. And taking an opportunity to promote safety, UHP has the following message for all drivers: “We’d like to remind people to check their tire tread, air pressure, and put snow tires on before winter officially arrives.”
