Fatal Multi-Car Crash Slows Traffic On Interstate 25

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - A deadly crash on northbound Interstate 25 near Fort Collins caused traffic delays Wednesday morning.

Shortly before 8 a.m., three vehicles and a semi truck were involved in a crash at mile marker 265, near the East Harmony Road exit.

The driver of a red Yukon died at the scene. Authorities said the individual was not using a seat belt.

The other cars involved, including a white pickup truck, received minor damage.

Only the far left lane of traffic was able to get by as of 8:45 a.m.

It is unclear what caused the crash, but heavy traffic and a merging point may have contributed.

"It could have been a long merge, it could have been an avoidance maneuver... that's still under investigation," said Trooper Paul Dirkes.
