Semi crashes into barrier in construction zone on Interstate 70, leading to traffic issues near Colorado Mills
Two lanes of eastbound Interstate 70 were closed after a semi crash in the western part of the Denver metro area Tuesday morning.
A semi truck crashed into a barrier in a construction zone and appeared to be heavily damaged. There was also a fuel spill that was being cleaned up.
So far it's not clear if anyone was hurt. It's also unknown how long it will take to clean up the wreck.
The I-70 closure was between Exit 263 (Colorado Mills Parkway) and Exit 264 (32nd Avenue). That's in the Applewood area, near Golden, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood.
