Half of a pre-fabricated home fell off a semitrailer in southwest Colorado early Friday morning, closing a highway and prompting officials to call in a crane to move it.
The half-house fell just before 7 a.m. as it was traversing Colorado 62, about four miles from the Dallas Divide, . No injuries have been reported. The fallen structure, which was covered in a white tarp, straddled both lanes, blocking the highway entirely, and the sheriff’s office said a crane was on scene to help clear the home.
Images taken by the sheriff’s office and by the Colorado State Patrol showed a bulldozer had also been called to shovel debris out of the roadway. One wall of the building had fallen away, scattering dressers and other furniture.
No cause for the crash has yet been determined, the state patrol said in a press release. The agency did not provide an estimate for when the highway would be reopened.
