"Of particular concern is I-25 south of Denver to Monument where icy conditions can make for a very difficult commute. The root causes of crashes last night were motorists driving too fast and following too closely," CDOT officials stated in a news release, referring to crashes Thursday night including at Castle Pines (multiple crash, at least 11 vehicles involved) and in Larkspur.
