A semi-truck driver was killed on I-25 this morning, when his rig collided with another carrying mail.
The Colorado State Patrol says that the 62-year-old man from Alberta, Canada was carrying a truckload of chocolate bits on I-25 north of Fort Collins. He has not yet been identified.
The driver carrying U.S. mail is Robert Griffis, 31, from Thornton. He was taken to Poudre Valley Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Witnesses say both trucks were traveling in the right lane of northbound I-25 when the truck driven by Griffis rolled on its side. The chocolate truck hit the trailer, splitting it open and scattering thousands of pieces of mail.
Northbound I-25 was closed for several hours at mile marker 276, but was fully reopened by 8:30 a.m.
Griffis may be facing charges in the crash.
