(Cedar City, UT)  --  Crashes slowed and tied up traffic on Interstate 15 Tuesday afternoon as a snow squall swept through southern Utah.  Traffic on northbound I-15 was diverted off the freeway south of Cedar City, just north of the Hamilton Fort exit for several hours.  Another crash involving a semi slowed traffic near exit 57 in Cedar City.  Late Tuesday afternoon, State Route 59 was congested from Hurricane to the Arizona state line and State Route 9 was closed through Zion National Park.
