A snowstorm that blew into the Glenwood Springs area early Thursday morning caused icy roads along Interstate 70 and Highway 82 just in time for the morning commute.
As of 8 a.m., eastbound Interstate 70 was closed seven miles west of Glenwood Springs due to severe weather and several stuck trucks, according to Colorado Department of Transportation’s cotrip.org.
Traffic was also slow-going coming into Glenwood Springs on I-70 due to the slick conditions, with backups reported at the eastbound 114 (West Glenwood) and 116 (main Glenwood) exits, according to reports on the Roaring Fork Road and Weather Facebook page.
Carbondale Fire was also called out to one minor-injury accident on eastbound Highway 82 near mile marker 9 just before 8 a.m., and numerous other cars were being reported in the median.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
