Officials say crashes involving about 70 vehicles have bottlenecked a section of a snowy Colorado highway and sent eight people to the hospital.
The Colorado State Patrol says the massive pileup Tuesday prompted officials to close the eastbound side of Interstate 70 in Clear Creek County, about 50 miles west of Denver.
State patrol says officials evaluated 19 people for injuries and took eight of them to the hospital, including one person who had “sustained serious bodily injuries." Images online show multiple semitrucks involved in the pileup, the fronts of vehicles smashed and debris lining the roadway.
