I-70 Accidents Make Mess Of Morning Commute

DENVER (CBS4) - Several accidents on Interstate 70 quickly backed up Tuesday morning traffic.

At approximately 6:20 a.m. three vehicles including a semi-truck were involved in an accident on westbound I-70 at Havana Street. The injuries are unknown.

All lanes but the right were blocked, and the eastbound direction saw traffic due to curiosity slowing.

Slowing spilled over to Interstate 225 as that northbound ramp accessing westbound I-70 backed up from the accident. It was stalled all the way to East Mississippi Avenue at one point.

Shortly after, an accident occurred on eastbound I-70 near Quebec Street. It happened at approximately 6:45 a.m. and blocked a portion of the eastbound lanes.

Just after 7 a.m. another accident occurred on eastbound I-70 at Pecos Street.

Drivers are advised to take East Alameda Avenue or Colfax Avenue, despite the traffic lights.
