I-70 closed for hours Friday
Eastbound traffic on Interstate 70 between New Castle and Canyon Creek closed Friday morning as a result of a vehicular crash between a car and a semi truck at Mile Marker 107.
The stretch of interstate remained closed for most of the day, not reopening until about 5:30 p.m.
Two medical helicopters arrived on scene to evacuate the injured parties, according to a Garfield County Sheriff’s Office press release sent at 9:55 a.m., about an hour after the accident occurred. In addition to the aerial rescue operation, traffic backlogs from onlookers created made for a difficult situation, Colorado Department of Transportation spokesperson Elise Thatcher said via email Friday morning.
“We are strongly asking that motorists move smoothly along the U.S. 6 detour, without stopping to look at the crash site,” she said. “Delays are increasing on the U.S. 6 detour due to motorists slowing down or stopping to look at the crash and emergency response.”
As of Friday, the incident was still being investigated.
