HAZMAT spill at Exit 205 interchange in Silverthorne, long delays

A truck and semitrailer collision near the 7-Eleven at the I-70 interchange in Silverthorne has caused a 60 gallon diesel spill. Summit Fire & EMS reported that HAZMAT teams have been dispatched to the scene and clean up will take at least two to three hours; the area is ecologically sensitive as it is near the Blue River. Delays are expected on I-70 in both directions from Exit 205 while clean up is underway. One injury has been reported, with the individual sent to St. Anthony Summit Medical Center for treatment.
