What A Mess!

I-70 closed in the mountains of Colorado at the Eisenhower Tunnel due to a wreck inovolving 75 vehicles. That may be a record for chaino-reaction crashes.

No information available on injuries or fatalities. All wreckers, cops and ambulances in that part of the state are responding. It'll take a good long time to clean this up. Many stranded motorists will spend a cold night in their cars.

Yikes! Is it the westbound? Such a speed demon area coming out of the tunnel. Hope everyone is okay.

Just went to 9News website. What a hot mess and it happened around 3:30 mountain time.

@Seminole2 I don't know which side the wreck is on, or both. However, the whole interstate is shut down

I saw it on the news earlier tonight.

The I-70 vehicle pile-up in Colorado was a significant incident that caused major traffic disruptions. The crash occurred on April 14, 2026, near the Eisenhower Tunnel, involving over 75 vehicles and resulting in injuries for 19 people. The incident was exacerbated by severe weather conditions, including heavy snowfall and strong winds, which created hazardous driving conditions. The Colorado Department of Transportation and the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office were involved in managing the situation and providing updates to the public. The closure of I-70 was necessary to allow for rescue and clearance operations, and the road remained closed for an extended period.
