The crash happened around 6:45 a.m. Friday, shutting down Highway 34 in both directions. Eastbound Highway 34 has since reopened. However, westbound Highway 34 remained closed at Highway 257, as of the 9:35 a.m. update.
"Please find an alternative route out of Greeley as the roadway will be shut down for sometime while we investigate and clear the roadway. Eastbound lanes are open, but may also experience delays due to traffic slowing around responders," the police department said.
The Greeley police traffic unit will investigate what happened.
