A portion of I-70 was temporarily shut down near Vail on Monday because of a rock slide that damaged at least one vehicle.
The slide occurred in the westbound lanes of the interstate near milepost 171 Monday evening, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Troopers shared a photo on Twitter that showed an SUV damaged by the slide. At least one rock hit the vehicle, tearing a hole in the hood.
The driver and passengers were not injured, troopers said.
I-70 is temporary closed westbound at MP 171 (near Vail) due to rockslide. NO INJURIES, driver and passengers very lucky in one of the cars hit by the rocks. We expect to open the roadway in the next 15 minutes.
