JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - Highway 285 has reopened after a semi hauling crushed cars and a pickup truck were involved in a crash Tuesday morning.
There were two injuries in the crash in Jefferson County near Tiny Town, and the highway was closed in both directions afterwards for nearly four hours.
