Multiple Crashes Take Place On Eastern Plains In Snowy Weather

FORT LUPTON, Colo. (CBS4) - A series of accidents were reported on Friday on highways on Colorado's Eastern Plains, where snowy conditions have made for dangerous driving.

Two people were hospitalized.

Emergency officials said the crashes happened about 10:45 a.m. and that some or all of the lanes of the highway between Fort Lupton and Brighton would be closed while they cleaned up the wrecks.
