PALISADE, Colo. — A deadly single-vehicle crash has closed a section of westbound I-70 on Colorado’s Western Slope Monday, according to a spokesperson with the Colorado State Patrol.
The crash on westbound I-70 between Cameo and Palisade, located about 7 miles east of Clifton, happened just before 2 p.m., a Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) said.
