A rollover crash was reported at approximately 5:46 a.m. on eastbound I-70 at mile marker 34.

Scanner traffic described a multi-vehicle collision involving a semi and multiple other vehicles — reports varied between two to three vehicles plus a semi — with significant damage. Eastbound lanes were closed for the investigation. Responders said there was a single driver for each vehicle and crews were checking for patients. The semi was described as inoperable and likely to need a large tow, and fire crews requested traffic be held at Horizon Drive until additional traffic control arrived.

Update: One truck involved was an unoccupied vehicle parked on the shoulder.

Update 7:35 a.m.: Eastbound I-70 traffic is reopened to one lane. Radio traffic did not indicate any major injuries.

Details are based on live scanner traffic and may change as official information is released.
