A dash cam video shows the multi-vehicle pileup that closed down a snowy Interstate 70 Wednesday morning.

The video, which was posted on YouTube Wednesday, is from an airport shuttle van heading east about a quarter of a mile east of the Eisenhower Tunnel. It shows a truck passing the van and then suddenly braking, fishtailing and crashing into other vehicles.

The Colorado Department of Transportation near the tunnel at 10:23 a.m. Wednesday. The section reopened just before 1 p.m.

A KCNC-4 reporter on scene east of the tunnel said three people were being treated for injuries: a woman who is seven months pregnant, another person with shoulder pain and a third with chest pains.
