2 teens killed in crash on southbound I-25 in Denver Tech Center area

A deadly crash on Interstate 25 in the southern part of the Denver metro area led to a full closure of the southbound lanes but those lanes were slowly reopening on Friday morning. According to Greenwood Village police, two male juveniles, both 13 years old, died as a result of the accident. 

The crash happened about 6:52 p.m. on Thursday in the Denver Tech Center area between the Orchard Road and Arapahoe Road exits.

Officials from South Metro Fire Rescue said six people were taken to the hospital after the crash. Police said one of the teens was from Henderson and the other was from Commerce City. 

The Greenwood Village Police Department is investigating what led up to the crash and didn't have a cause of the crash by Friday morning. Investigators said preliminary findings indicated that no drugs or alcohol were involved. 

There was an extended closure of the southbound lanes during the crash investigation and cleanup, partially due to a hazmat situation.
