An afternoon traffic accident on a busy stretch of highway involving a truck hauling pesticides tied up traffic this afternoon, but closed lanes have been reopened.
The accident happened at about 1 p.m. in Jefferson County on or near the westbound C-470 ramp to eastbound I-70, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The crash involved a pickup truck and a commercial truck hauling pesticides.
One driver was injured in the crash. Details on the injuries were not available. He was taken to St. Anthony Central Hospital, the state patrol said.
Hazardous materials teams are at the scene mopping up. The pesticide was diluted, according to the state patrol, and it’s not a public health threat at the site.
