By 9:15 p.m., traffic cameras still showed an active scene with flashing emergency lights and traffic backed up in both directions.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office offered few details but said the crashes occurred between mile markers 174 and 181.

Around 9:40 p.m., a Colorado State Patrol spokesman told CBS News Colorado that at least one fire engine was involved in one of those crashes. He said there were at least three crashes in total and one of them involved four vehicles while another involved three.

Icy conditions were somewhat to blame in at least some of these crashes, according to CSP. No serious injuries were reported.
