Colorado State Patrol said it responded to multiple crashes on I-70 as mountain road conditions were icy with low visibility. No one was injured, but the crashes resulted in property damage.
Near milepost 130 in Eagle County west of Gypsum, CSP said about 20 vehicles were involved in a pile up crash reported just before 11:30 a.m. The cars have since been moved off the roadway and plows were set to go through the area.
“Once the road is suitable for travel, emergency vehicles will begin leading vehicles through the area at slow speeds,” CSP said.
Not long after at 11:42 a.m., more calls came in reporting another pileup of about 30 vehicles near milepost 119 in Garfield County, east of Glenwood Springs. CSP and the local sheriff’s office were working to clear the road.
