LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — Five separate crashes on the northbound lanes of I-25 near the Windsor exit sent two people to the hospital and snarled traffic for several hours as wintry weather conditions persisted on the roads through early Tuesday morning.
The crashes were first reported to the Colorado State Patrol just before 6 a.m. Tuesday involving multiple vehicles, according to state troopers.
A spokesperson for the CSP said the crashes involved two single-vehicle crashes, followed by two, two-vehicle crashes and later, a four-vehicle crash.
The northbound lanes of I-25 were shuttered shuttered at the Windsor exit (Exit 392) as crews combed the scene and investigated the crashes.
A preliminary investigation into the crashes was not yet immediately available, but CSP troopers said only two people were injured in the four-vehicle crash — one driver who got out of their vehicle and was struck shortly after, and another driver who was taken by an ambulance with minor injuries.
The person who was struck in the four-vehicle crash was hospitalized with serious bodily injuries. Troopers do not know if the driver was struck by debris or another vehicle.
CSP troopers said the crashes were still under investigation and no charges were being filed at this time.
The northbound lanes of I-25 reopened at the Windsort exit at around 8:53 a.m., troopers said.
As road conditions remained icy throughout the morning, the CSP advised drivers to go slow and leave extra room between themselves and other drivers.
