The Colorado Department of Transportation tweeted initially that three right lanes were closed due to the rollover and then revised that tweet that two right lanes were closed. 

Those closures were creating a huge traffic backup in the area. 

A short time later, CDOT tweeted that all southbound lanes were closed in that area. 

South Metro Fire Rescue tweeted that firefighters were working to extricate one person who was injured in the crash. That person was seriously injured. 

All lanes reopened shortly before 3 p.m.
