The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner will release her identity and official cause of death.
For nearly three hours, the fatal crash closed the ramps from northbound and southbound I-25 to northbound I-225, Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber said.
He recommended Belleview or Hampden to Yosemite as alternate routes to still get you to northbound I-225.
This is the scene at the fatal wreck that has the ramps from NB and SB 25 closed to access NB 225. The car came off the SB ramp and crashed on the NB ramp.

While access from southbound I-25 to northbound I-225 reopened around 6:30 a.m. Thursday, traffic remained backed up on northbound I-25 getting past I-225 until just after 8 a.m., around five hours after it happened.
