"Heavy fog and icy conditions contributed to the cause of the crash," said ISP. "The Interstate was blocked for approximately 6 hours while units worked to clear the lanes of travel."

I-84 was opened later in the evening to one lane of traffic in each direction. No injuries were reported from the crash.
