LONE TREE, Colo. — One person was killed in a single-car crash on northbound Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway Tuesday morning, according to the Lone Tree Police Department.
A woman and child were inside the vehicle at the time of the wreck. The woman driving was the one killed. There were no injuries to the child who was a passenger.
The northbound Interstate 25 exit to RidgeGate Parkway closed as a result of the crash, slowing traffic from Castle Rock and Castle Pines. The delay reached nearly an hour by 6:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Only two lanes of the highway were open past the crash blocking the right lane with heavy first responder presence.
Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber advised drivers to expect delays for the rest of the morning. Use Crowfoot Valley Road to get into Parker Road, if you're in Castle Rock, Luber said. You can use Monarch Boulevard getting in through Castle Pines, or use Santa Fe Drive, according to Luber.
The section of roadway has since reopened. The Lone Tree Police Department said the crash is under investigation.
