DENVER — A fatal crash involving two vehicles closed a stretch of northbound Interstate 25 near Santa Fe Drive for several hours Friday night as travelers headed into the Labor Day weekend.
All lanes were reopened to traffic around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
The two-vehicle crash was reported shortly after 6:15 p.m. by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on X, formerly Twitter.
The northbound lanes of I-25 were closed at University, according to the Denver Police Department.
Few details about the crash were released, but police said one motorist was pronounced dead at the scene.
CDOT cameras showed traffic backed up for at least two miles as police patrol vehicles staged a few yards from a white tent.
A Denver police spokesperson said another driver had been injured in the crash but did not provide additional information.
