The Colorado State Patrol has closed 120th Avenue just north of the Denver International Airport due to a fatal crash.

Around 3:15 p.m., the CSP announced the closure at 120th Avenue and Powhaton Road due to a crash. They say two pickup trucks were involved in a collision around 2:49 p.m.

Two people were initially reported killed in the crash, and another four people have been taken to the hospital for treatment. CSP later updated the number of people killed in the crash to one.

Authorities asked drivers to take alternate routes. They do not yet have an estimate for when the road will reopen.

The crash remains under investigation. Anyone who witnessed it or has relevant information and has not spoken to investigators is encouraged to call CSP Dispatch at (303) 239-4501.
