CHEYENNE, Wyo.—Snowy weather has snarled traffic across much of Wyoming and is being blamed for at least 70 crashes.
The Wyoming Department of Transportation says 50 crashes occurred in southeast Wyoming, mainly along Interstate 80, since Tuesday night. Nine crashes caused injuries but there are no reports of fatalities.
I-80 is closed Wednesday morning between Cheyenne and Laramie and roads statewide are slick as a major early storm continues to dump snow from southwest Colorado in to western Nebraska.
More is on the way. As much as 14 inches of snow is forecast for the Cheyenne area. Denver could see 18 inches and up to 4 feet is possible in the mountains of Colorado.
Winter storm warnings remain in effect for large areas of Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado.
