I-25 reopens after crash involving pedestrian in Northern Colorado

Interstate 25 reopened in Northern Colorado after a crash involving a pedestrian, officials said Monday night.

The closure was first reported around 5:45 p.m. Monday in Mead, northeast of Longmont. Few details about the nature of the closure were immediately available, but the Larimer County Sheriff's Office said there was a crash involving a pedestrian. By around 9:30 p.m., the highway had reopened.

CDOT initially said only southbound lanes were closed due to police activity, but moments later, it said both directions of the highway were closed due to "safety concerns" between Colorado Highway 66 and Exit 245 in Mead.

A spokesperson for the Larimer County Sheriff's Office later said that a pedestrian was injured and taken to the hospital, but the circumstances surrounding the crash are still under investigation.
