Crashes Close I-25 Northbound Near Mead, I-70 Westbound Glenwood Springs

Two significant crashes led to major highway closures in Colorado on Memorial Day. Westbound Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs was closed due to a crash near the U.S. 6 exit in Chacra, with traffic diverted onto U.S. 6 and delays reported, though details on the cause and reopening time remain unknown. Northbound Interstate 25 north of Mead was shut down after a recreational vehicle trailer rolled over, causing extensive backups and prompting authorities to advise alternate routes; the crash scene included police, fire, and Colorado State Patrol responders. CDOT reported minor injuries in one of the crashes, but full details about injuries or the circumstances were not yet available.
