Four Accidents Shut Down Highway, Cause Unknown
Four separate but related car accidents involving semi-trucks caused a complete shut down of Westbound I-70 early near Limon just after 8:30 a.m. Friday morning. The cause remains under investigation.
Several crews are working to put out a fire that erupted as a result of the crash. Most of the vehicles involved are semis. It was initially reported that one of the semi-trucks was transporting explosive materials, but it is now being reported that the materials are a glue-like adhesive.
Details regarding any injuries resulting from the crash have not been made publicly available.
The cleanup is expected to take several hours, and an estimate as to when Westbound I-70 will reopen has not been given. The closure begins about three miles east of Agate. All eastbound lanes are currently open.
Traffic is currently being rerouted to Highway 71 North to Last Chance, on to US 36 to Byers where drivers can return to Westbound I-70.
