A Thursday morning semitrailer crash just north of the Spaghetti Bowl temporarily shut down northbound Interstate 15, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

The crash was reported just before 9 a.m., according to the Metropolitan Police Department’s traffic accident log.

The truck’s driver sustained a minor injury, Trooper Jason Buratczuk said. The truck was hauling concrete, which spilled onto the road. Traffic is being diverted to Charleston Boulevard, Martin Luther King Boulevard and U.S. Highway 95.

The roadway has since reopened.
