A tractor-trailer and Toyota RAV4 collided immediately south of the interchange, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The RAV4 went under the semi.

This crash, per CSP, occurred as troopers were investigating an earlier crash in the northbound lanes.

Northbound traffic is being diverted from the highway. A CSP spokesperson suggested drivers avoid the area until further notice.
