21-Vehicle Pileup On Colorado Interstate During Whiteout

A massive 21-vehicle pileup on I-70 in Colorado during winter storm conditions forced the roadway closed on Wednesday, authorities said.

The accident involved nine semi-trucks and 12 passenger vehicles on I-70 near the Strasburg area, the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) said. Authorities said no injuries were immediately reported.

The agency shared photos of the trucks and cars scattered across the snow-covered road and others showing what they described as "whiteout conditions."

The multi-vehicle crash shutdown I-70 from Airpark to the Kansas line in both directions, CSP said.
