The result was the red semi-tractor trailer that went across the freeway was immobile on its side and blocked the slow lane. A miracle happened, the red semi that went across the freeway, missing the driver of the blue semi cab area and destroyed the trailer full of pallets of candy ripping it apart. Thousands of candy bars and debris were scattered across the freeway.
The accident caused an entire section of southbound I-15 to close down one lane for hours, with a 15-mile backup. Drivers were advised to take alternate routes until it was cleared up. Thankfully, according to officials at the scene there were no major injuries as a result of the accident.
