On Tuesday, travelers on Eastbound Interstate 70 were met with a bit of a surprise as the highway near Georgetown was closed due to a crash involving nine cars. According to the Colorado State Patrol, this incident caused quite the traffic jam and left many commuters stranded on the road for hours.
Reports state that the crash occurred around 12:45 p.m. on the downhill stretch of the interstate leading into Georgetown. This caused the closure of the highway between Exit 203 for Colorado 9 and Exit 232 for U.S. 40 and Empire Junction. Needless to say, this was quite an inconvenience for those trying to make their way through that part of Colorado.
Thankfully, the state patrol was able to handle the situation quickly and efficiently, and by 4 p.m., the interstate was reopened for travel. However, the aftermath of the crash was not without its consequences. Officials from the state patrol revealed that one of the vehicles involved was a semitrailer, which was carrying cars. Luckily, the cars on the trailer were not involved in the accident.
Despite the severity of the crash, it seems that everyone involved was fortunate enough to escape with only minor injuries. Multiple individuals were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, but thankfully, none of the injuries were life-threatening. Although, the exact number of people injured was not disclosed at the time of the incident.
For those who may have been affected by this unfortunate event, the state patrol has urged individuals to sign up for crime news updates, which can be sent directly to their inbox daily. This is just one way to stay informed and prepared for any unexpected incidents that may occur on the road.
