A pictures shared by CSP shows a motorcycle on its side and heavy damage to the front of a truck.

CSP officials tell CBS4 a motorcycle traveling west reportedly crossed the centerline and collided with the truck. Both the driver and passenger of the motorcycle suffered serious injuries.

A passenger in the truck suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. CSP says a Denver Fire paramedic and others stopped to help immediately after the crash.
