VIDEO/PHOTOS: After numerous spills from semi-trucks, the Mountain Green Fire Protection District is discussing potential concerns about environmental hazards. On Tuesday, a semi-truck tipped over on I-84 in Weber Canyon and spilled approximately 250-gallon totes of liquid fertilizer potassium hydroxide.
As a result, traffic came to a standstill for several hours near milepost 90 while crews with the Mountain Green Fire Protection District (MGFPD) and Utah Highway patrol (UHP) cleaned up the spill. While some were concerned about being stuck in traffic, MGFPD Chief Brian Brendel says this spill may indicate a more dangerous issue.
โThis is the 23rd semi that we have had wrecked in the exact same place at mile marker 90 on that particular curve since 2020,โ Chief Brendel said, โAnd itโs something that concerns me greatly, living in Morgan County and Mountain Green.โ
