SPANISH FORK — Due to a semitruck collision and a significant fuel spill on Sunday night, a section of U.S. Highway 6 through Spanish Fork Canyon remains closed. Traffic is being rerouted to Highway 89 due to the collision that happened at milepost 186. One of the two semitrucks in the collision flipped onto its side.
Cpl. Haley Scheer of the Utah Highway Patrol reports that one person was sent to the hospital due to injuries that did not pose a threat to life. Scheer added that there will be a five-hour closure on the Canyon. Additionally, according to the UHP, 6,000 gallons of fuel leaked.

The federal organization that oversees the reservoir and the power plant, the Bureau of Reclamation, reports that the level was 3,568 feet above sea level on Monday. The water level was 43 feet lower on the same day last year at 3,525 feet. That was almost the lowest level that had been reached since the reservoir was first filled in the 1960s.
