At 5:15 p.m. a long line of cars could be seen in the westbound lanes before the tunnel waiting to pass through.

So far it's not clear if anyone was hurt in the crash or how many cars were involved.

While there has been some snow in the mountains in areas above 9,000 feet on Tuesday, the weather conditions at the tunnel appeared to be strictly rainy.
