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.
