Westbound Interstate 70 is partially closed near Eisenhower Tunnel on Wednesday after two people crashed in the snow, according to Clear Creek County sheriff’s officials.
The sheriff’s office posted about the first crash, at mile marker 219, on social media at 9:07 a.m. Wednesday. Multiple injuries were reported in the crash and deputies shut down the westbound interstate’s right line.
Sheriff’s officials said light, blowing snow and windy conditions made the highway slick, causing the crash. Only one car was involved.
Ten minutes later, sheriff’s officials said a second crash happened in the traffic backup from the first crash.
No injuries were reported in the second crash, which happened at mile marker 120.
