CEDAR CITY — Due to a rollover accident in the northbound lanes of Interstate 15 Saturday afternoon, traffic from milepost 51 at the Hamilton Fort-Kanarraville exit north to milepost 53 is backed up and moving slowly.

At approximately 1:55 p.m. a single vehicle rollover was reported. The vehicle involved became fully engulfed in flames and due to the nature of the accident, traffic was slowed almost immediately and quickly backed up for several miles.
