Interstate 70 was closed in both directions between Glenwood Springs and Dotsero due to a crashed semi Tuesday afternoon, according to Colorado State Patrol.

The westbound reopened around 12:40 p.m., according to an Eagle County Alert. Eastbound reopened closer to 1 p.m.

The call came in for a semi crash in the westbound lanes near mile marker 129 shortly after 11 a.m., according to Trooper Gabriel Moltrer, a public information officer with Colorado State Patrol. Eastbound lanes closed a few minutes later to allow responders access to the crash.



The driver was transported to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries, according to Moltrer.
