One person suffered serious injuries in the crash. A total of three people were rushed to the hospital.
"It was a semi ... but for some reason went through the median, hit multiple cars ... it's going to be an extended closure," said Trooper Gary Cutler, spokesman for Colorado State Patrol.
The semi driver was headed northbound before crashing through the median. A Maserati was involved in the crash. Crews may have to reconstruct the Jersey Barrier at the crash scene.
A spokeswoman for Poudre Fire Authority said each person who was hurt was in a different car.
