In a busy afternoon on Wednesday, a collision between two vehicles on Interstate 225 northbound caused quite a commotion. The vehicles involved were a semi-truck and a car, and the accident occurred near the intersection of E. Iliff Avenue in Denver. The Aurora police were quick to respond and arrived at the scene just after 3 p.m.
According to Aurora police, the semi-truck was leaking fuel after the crash, which prompted a hazardous materials team to be called in. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident, as confirmed by the Aurora police. However, the situation was still serious and the authorities had to take necessary precautions.
As a result, the interstate was shut down completely right after the crash, causing major traffic delays. After a few hours, it was partially reopened, but it wasn't until 6:20 p.m. that the lanes were fully functional again. In the meantime, drivers heading north on Interstate 225 were being redirected to take E. Iliff Avenue, as advised by the Aurora police.
This incident was just one of the many road-related accidents that occurred on that day. In a separate incident, a section of South University Boulevard had to be closed due to a crash. The heavy snowfall on the Eastern Plains also led to the closure of I-70, causing further inconvenience for drivers. In another tragic incident, a Golden police officer lost his life in a suspected DUI crash, and the suspect was identified as a Colorado School of Mines professor.
With adverse weather conditions and multiple road closures, it is important to know how to drive safely in snow and ice. This is especially crucial for newcomers and tourists who may not be familiar with the precautions to take.
