All of that is a mess.
We've seen an ambulance or two out there.
We've seen tow trucks.
We don't know exactly if anybody
was injured or how much,
but we're trying to find out.
For now, we want to take you over to Erica.
She's keeping an eye on that crash and a
bunch of others around the metro area.
Yeah, absolutely. Gary and Cory.
And we want to hang on this shot for
a little bit longer because we haven't
had eyes on it that much this morning
because our seedot camera keeps turning
around and showing us not the scene.
But as you mentioned,
we're getting reports that multiple vehicles.
Were involved in this crash this morning.
We don't know about injuries,
but like Gary mentioned,
we've seen a couple of ambulances.
Looks like I'm counting at least three
tow trucks still on scene this morning.
And again, it's a full shutdown of both
sides of 6th Ave eastbound and westbound.
As far as traffic impacts go,
though, we're seeing more delays
on the eastbound side.
We're going to bring you to our graphics
now this morning you can see those are
eastbound delays headed toward that
area and that makes sense because a
lot of people are coming into the metro
area traveling eastbound on 6th Ave.
This is at federal where things are closed,
as well as between federal and calm.
With that, we have this closure this morning.
It does look like through this area,
westbound lanes looking OK,
but it's eastbound lanes that
are really not looking so great.
We've got another crash involving
multiple vehicles at eastbound,
Colfax and federal.
We're also dealing with a spinout
that has the ramp from northbound
I-25 to 70th Ave shut down right now.
This rollover crash hasn't cleared yet
either on westbound 76 and Sheridan
were slow all the way past Berkeley,
almost to I-76 and I.
25 Central Park Blvd shut down because
of another multi vehicle crash between
36 and 40th avenues that Denver
police are still investigating.
So what you need to know this morning
is still slick and dicey out there.
You need to take it slow and give
yourself plenty of extra travel time.
You've got about a 5 minute backup
on I-25 S between downtown and
the Denver Tech Center.
Alright, we have some more information
now on this crash at 6th Ave in Kalamath.
That's the eastbound lanes
you're looking at right now.
Apparently more than 100 vehicles or 100
motorists were involved in this crash.
They say they're taking
the inoperable vehicles.
The ones that they can't,
they can't drive away.
They're being transported over
to lot C at empower field.
Over at the football stadium.
They say that several motorists
are taken to the hospital.
We don't know exactly how many.
Officers say it's going to take some time,
obviously, to clear that mess out there,
but more than 100 vehicles
involved in that crash?
Yikes.
It's a mess. And they're really
working hard to clear a path for
the other vehicles that are involved
in this that can drive away.
As you can see, there are
several tow trucks there.
They're working as fast as possible
to clear a lane to get some of the
vehicles out and kind of open this up.
But they do ask for everyone's
patience because as you can see,
it's going to take some time.
Yeah, 100 vehicles, that could take good,
good chunk of the day to get that back open.
So obviously, avoid 6th Ave at all costs
if you're trying to get into the city.
Alright, right now a live look at the snow
covered slopes this morning in Colorado.
So the morning commute down here is a mess.
But up in the Colorado high country
motorists have been doing pretty
good so far and they got a lot
of snow to deal with up there,
which of course is great
news for the ski area,
absolutely. Here are a couple
pictures that you shared with us
overnight on the left there that is
a beautiful shot from jeans backyard
in Inglewood that is just gorgeous.
And then here on the right Bruce's
backyard he lives about a mile West of.
Idaho Springs
and a look at our own backyard,
the 9 news backyard.
We got a couple of inches of
snow out there, not a whole lot,
but just enough to kind of cover
some of the trees and plants.
Ed's got the weather forecast.
It looks like things are
going to be moving out though.
Yeah, finally, because all these accidents
we've had, this was not a surprise storm.
We've been talking about this
for three or four days. So, yeah,
we've got that little bit of brightness here.
So we're starting to see the clouds move
out 23 degrees right now and that's
what's going to happen, these clouds.
Move out as the day goes on and we'll see
more in the way of sunshine this afternoon.
But it is going to stay on the chilly side.
Then the next system comes our way.
This is mainly going to impact the
northern and Central mountains.
We'll see some nice snow up there once again.
Some more snow for the high country.
Clearing skies in Denver today,
chilly, 43 degrees.
Then for tomorrow we're 61 degrees.
So nice warm up,
but more in the way of clouds.
55 degrees on Sunday with
partly cloudy skies.
Now we'll start the workweek with 59 degrees,
almost 60. Partly sunny on Monday.
Look at your Election Day.
66 degrees, plenty of sunshine.
So.
No problems getting out there and
voting 57 degrees on Wednesday.
We keep the sunshine around but a
bit cooler then Thursday and Friday,
maybe some rain and snow showers here
and yet more snow for the high country.
And thank you. We're going to take a
live look now at Loveland Ski area
up at the Eisenhower Johnson tunnels.
There, snow in the high country has
really helped the ski runs up there.
The storm overnight brought even more
snow up to two feet in a lot of spots.
Matt Renew continues our coverage now
from copper and I-70. Good morning.
Good morning, Cory. Yeah,
this has been a great snowstorm starting
to clear now some blue skies after about 2
days of consistent snow in the high country.
That has really been pretty
significant as far as winter storms go.
We are looking at Copper Mountain right now
and it could just be the middle of winter.
It looks so covered right now.
Breckenridge and Vail will open up next week,
Copper Mountain just a few days after that,
but it is open already to race
training as far as the public goes,
the ski areas that are open that are
benefiting well from this storm.
A basin Keystone Winter Park in Loveland
doing very nicely out of this storm.
In fact, over at Loveland they're
reporting more than two feet of snow
in the past two days from this storm.
Significant amount of snow for sure.
Mountain roads not doing too bad actually.
I-70 clear for the most part.
See that?
Plow trucks been out very busy but
you see side roads like this one.
Then here Copper Mountain certainly
snowpack certainly icy.
You'll want to take it slow and go if
you're heading in or out of the mountains.
Today.
So Corey, just a great snowstorm.
Wolf Creek opens up today 20
inches of snow in 24 hours.
So what a great storm
that shot makes you want to
go up and get some turns in.
It looks like they could open
any minute that's for sure fun.
Yep. It looks good. Yeah,
yeah that's pretty up there. Yeah.
And and maybe they maybe they will
try to bump it up a little bit early.
That run right there is
where the US Ski team trains.
So they're they ought to
be doing really well.
Alright I like that and I
like how you used your hand.
It just kind of, hey, it's that run
right there. And his gloves on.
Yeah, this is big.
Alright, thank you much.
Hey, don't forget you can get
all the weather and traffic
information you need as you're
heading out this morning.
