Fires and Crashes Close Major Highways Nationwide

A multi-vehicle crash and fire on Interstate 70 near the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado led to significant closures in both directions, with authorities warning of extended delays and no injuries reported so far. In Indiana, a semi-truck fire and subsequent crash caused full lane closures and backups on I-70 near Greenfield, before reopening after several hours. In New York, a minivan collided with a tractor-trailer on I-81 near Tully, resulting in a fire that destroyed the minivan and injured the driver, with the roadway closed for about two hours. Nevada saw a brush fire temporarily close a lane of I-80 near Derby Dam, which was quickly contained. These incidents disrupted travel across multiple states as fires and crashes strained emergency responses during a busy holiday period.
