JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — Westbound Interstate 70 is closed near C-470 due to a crash causing safety concerns, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
An overturned semitruck on the side of the highway is visible to Denver7 crews on scene of the wreck.
It has closed westbound I-70 at the Morrison exit and traffic is being diverted onto the frontage to the top of the hill back to I-70. Eastbound lanes are open, according to Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber.
Arvada Fire Protection District and Hazmat crews can also be seen working the crash scene. Denver7 is working to learn more about what the semitruck was carrying and what led up to the wreck.
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.
