Trucker falls asleep, causing rollover on I-15 in Utah

A driver fell asleep while hauling double trailers in Southern Utah, leading to a rollover accident on northbound I-15. This happened on the morning of September 18th near exit 33.

The details: A FedEx truck driver dozed off while his co-driver was resting, causing the truck to sideswipe another semi. The driver overcorrected, leading to the truck and both trailers overturning onto the grassy shoulder.

The incident didn't significantly impact traffic as the trailers rolled off the road.
Both the driver and the co-driver were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities plan to remove the trailers through a roadside fence. The exit was temporarily closed for the cleanup, reported Fox 13 News.
