I-70 between Gypsum and Dotsero has been closed for most of the day. A fuel tanker crashed into a delivery truck full of empty beer cans.
The tanker rolled over into the median between the east and westbound lanes. It was carrying 9,000 gallons of diesel; around 2,000 of those gallons spilled out before the hazmat team arrived to prevent it from seeping into the nearby Eagle River.
No injuries were reported. The accident happened at 6:15 a.m. When the accident initially occurred, traffic was backed up for about a mile in both directions, but now traffic is being redirected onto Old Highway 6, which is a frontage road.
