A semi-tractor trailer straddles the barrier between the westbound and eastbound lanes after sliding out of control on westbound Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon Monday morning.

Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon reopened on Tuesday after a semi-truck accident closed both lanes around 11:15 a.m. Monday. CDOT worked throughout the day and into the night to clear the wreckage from a semi-truck that crashed on the snow-slick highway and crashed through the westbound guardrail. The cab made contact with the lower eastbound lanes. This was the third crash in the canyon involving a semi-truck in four days that has resulted in the closure of I-70 through the canyon.

The Hispanic Affairs Project in Montrose received a major nod from the Community Resource Center, recently reports the Montrose Daily Press. The non-profit was awarded the Community Trailblazer Award during its annual “State of the Sector” event.
