I-25 reopens in northern Denver metro area after crash

Interstate 25 in the northern Denver metro area caused traffic to come to a standstill on Sunday, but it has since reopened.

It was the second crash of the day to close down part of the interstate after a semi-truck and passenger vehicle collided in the northbound lanes Sunday morning.

The crash happened in Thornton between Thornton Parkway and 84th Avenue around 6 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. Authorities have not yet released details on how the crash occurred or how many vehicles were involved.

The road reopened later that night.

CBS Colorado crews at the scene spotted at least four vehicles that appear to have been involved in the crash.

Officials said all southbound lanes of I-25 were closed, and traffic was being rerouted. CDOT warned drivers to expect delays.
