Thanks. I was thinking about heading home, but I've decided now that it'd be in my best interestes to stay down the hill until the afternoon.
Maybe things will clear off by then.
You are probably right about that. From an hour ago I heard from my sources that essentially side highways off of I-70 are messy or even closed in some cases but it is improving.
Has anyone heard if Hoosier Pass is open or closed? Someone just told me that there was an accident on it and they closed it, but CDOT doesn't say anything about it being closed.
I leave here about 3 pm and would like not to be stopped for a lengthy time period...
CDOT is showing this. We never got another update.

Any information is most welcome. Thanks.
This was a very serious accident and I suspect the investigation into it will take quite some time.
