SALT LAKE CITY — Several crashes caused closures and delays on major freeways and ramps across the state Thursday morning.

I-15 traffic

An early morning crash on northbound on I-15 caused an oil spill in Draper. By 9 a.m. on Thursday, the freeway was closed at 146000 South and there were six miles of stopped traffic going into Lehi.
