The driver of the other vehicle stopped and is cooperating with investigators, according to CSP Master Trooper Gary Cutler. That driver has no injuries. 

Images from a CDOT camera at mile marker 302 show a vehicle in the median, but Cutler said there was so far no indication from troopers at the scene that the vehicles collided. 

The crash was reported shortly after 9 p.m. The left lanes of both directions of traffic were closed as first responders arrived at the scene.
