Northbound Interstate 25 reopens in Northern Colorado after deadly wrong way crash

The northbound lanes of Interstate 25 reopened Saturday morning near Fort Collins hours after an early morning crash that killed two people, according to Colorado State Patrol.

The crash was first reported just after 1 a.m. after a Toyota Camry was going south in the northbound lanes of I-25, according to CSP. That driver, a 24-year-old Windsor woman, crashed into a Jeep Wrangler heading north on the interstate.

The Camry rotated and veered into the median, where it came to a stop facing southeast. Officials said the Wrangler continued north in the outside lane of the interstate before going off the highway into the southbound lane of the frontage road.

Authorities said a Subaru Impreza was heading north on the frontage road when it hit debris from the Wrangler and caught fire.

A third crash took place when a Ford Flex heading north on the interstate hit debris from the first crash, then came to a stop in the median.

Authorities said the Camry driver and a 33-year-old man from Cheyenne, Wyoming, who was driving the Wrangler, died at the scene. The man and woman inside the Impreza and the family in the Flex -- also from Wyoming -- were reportedly uninjured.

I-25 reopened around 9 a.m.

The exact cause and circumstances surrounding the crash are now under investigation. Officials said they could not say whether alcohol or impairment was a factor at this time.
