Semi-Truck Rollover Blocks Both Directions of U.S. 191 Near Moab

A semi-truck rolled onto its side and blocked both directions of U.S. Highway 191 near the La Sal Junction, roughly 15–20 miles south of Moab, Utah. The rollover occurred the morning of Wednesday, February 25, 2026, and left the highway impassable at the junction that sits south of Moab.

The Utah Department of Transportation first reported the crash shortly before 7:3, identifying the incident as a rollover that involved a commercial tractor-trailer. UDOT’s initial alert marked the first public notice of the blockage on U.S. 191 that morning and set off traffic advisories for drivers approaching from the south.

That stretch of U.S. 191 was the scene of the complete blockage; both northbound and southbound lanes were affected by the overturned vehicle at the junction area noted in the report.

Travelers heading to Moab on Wednesday morning encountered the closure on U.S. 191 near La Sal Junction, according to the timing and location in UDOT’s early notification.
