Troopers issued a warning of high winds near the Malad summit earlier Monday morning. By 9:40 a.m. ISP tweeted about the first crash near milepost 28. Shortly before 10, ISP updated about the multiple crashes near the summit, blocking the interstate’s lanes.
It is not yet clear if there are any injuries in the crashes.
With the high winds, ISP warns those driving high-profile vehicles should “use extreme caution,” though the cause of these particular crashes remains under investigation.
