Dashcam Video Shows I-70 Crash
SILVERTHORNE, Colo. (CBS4) - Dash cam video caught one of Wednesday's accidents on I-70 as it happened.
The video was shot by ski / airport shuttle driver Rainey Schuyler, who posted it to YouTube and shared it with CBS4.
Just before the accident happens, a truck passes Schuyler, who comments about how the other driver was mad at him for going to slow.
As a result of this accident and others, as well as near whiteout conditions, the Colorado State Patrol closed the eastbound lanes of I-70 at Silverthorne.
At least 25 vehicles were involved in the accidents, including CBS4's Mountain Newsroom reporter Matt Kroschel.
Appears folks are physically ok- lots of damage, I count 15 cars/trucks involved. #cowx @CBSDenver pic.twitter.com/et1ytw0T4J
