Four Killed Including Two Children in Colorado I-70 Rear-End Crash

A tragic crash on eastbound Interstate 70 in Elbert County, Colorado, resulted in four fatalities, including two children, when a Subaru Forester rear-ended a semi-truck hauling a trailer near mile marker 348. The Subaru was occupied by five people; four died at the scene while the driver was hospitalized. The semi-truck driver was not injured. The crash caused the closure of eastbound I-70 between exit 340 and exit 348, with traffic being detoured onto U.S. 36. The Colorado State Patrol Vehicular Crimes Unit is actively investigating the cause of the collision, and no timeline has been given for the reopening of the roadway. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on traffic conditions.
