Semi-Truck Rollover Blocks Both Directions of US 191 Near La Sal Junction

A semi-truck rolled onto its side and blocked both directions of US Highway 191 near La Sal Junction, shutting traffic on the stretch about 15–20 miles south of Moab, Utah. The truck came to rest across the lanes on the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026, forcing an immediate stop to travel in the area.

Local responders and the Utah Department of Transportation were on scene after the rollover, coordinating at the roadside near the La Sal Junction. Authorities closed US 191 in the vicinity of the crash to secure the scene and keep motorists out of the blocked lanes while personnel assessed the situation.

The location of the incident placed the closure on a rural segment of US 191 roughly 15–20 miles south of Moab, meaning drivers approaching from the north encountered the shutdown near the junction. With both directions blocked, traffic that would normally use that corridor was interrupted for vehicles in both directions on the highway.

Officials worked at the site alongside state transport crews from the Utah Department of Transportation and local emergency responders to manage the response to the overturned semi. The presence of multiple agencies on scene reflected the need to control the roadway where the truck rested on its side and blocked travel lanes at La Sal Junction.

The rollover early Wednesday prompted authorities to close US 191 near La Sal Junction while responders and UDOT personnel handled the incident and scene safety. The crash site was the focus of emergency activity on Feb. 25, 2026, until crews could secure the area and clear the blocked lanes.
