A tanker with two trailers of butane rolled over on Interstate 15 in Lehi, Utah Saturday morning, Nov. 30, closing the highway for more than 10 hours and forcing the evacuation of some nearby residents.

The driver of the truck had minor injuries.

Some of the butane spilled and most had to be transferred to another truck.
