Northbound Interstate 25 was closed for more than five hours Wednesday morning after two semitrailers crashed near Fort Collins in northern Colorado, according to state officials.
Colorado State Patrol troopers responded to the crash involving two semitrailers near milepost 275, just south of Wellington, at 5:24 a.m., according to a news release from the agency.
Both commercial trucks were traveling in the same direction, and it’s not yet known what caused the crash, state patrol officials said in the release.
The crash sparked a small brush fire in the center median of I-25 that was quickly extinguished, investigators said. No vehicles caught fire, and no injuries were reported.
Both directions of I-25 were briefly closed because of the crash, and all southbound lanes reopened just before 7 a.m., according to the state patrol. The northbound lanes fully reopened at 10:40 a.m.
