The 1997 Chevy van hit the guardrail and rolled, spilling the broken jars all over the road, according to Trooper Josh Lewis with Colorado State Patrol.

The driver was checked at the scene by paramedics but refused to be transported to a hospital, Lewis said.
Multiple lanes were initially blocked before the highway reopened around 1 p.m.
