An unidentified man died Thursday when he tried to cross I-25 at Alameda and was hit by a car.
The accident forced the closure of southbound I-25 and caused massive backups on northbound I-25. As of 11:30 p.m., southbound I-25 was still closed.
Several cars tried to avoid hitting the pedestrian resulting in a four-car collision, said Sonny Jackson, spokesman for the Denver Police Department. The accident happened at about 8:30 p.m.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The motorists suffered minor injuries.
