100 vehicles in a pileup were wrecked along Denver’s busy West 6th Avenue.
After the collision, the authorities indicated that the drivers had to withdraw due to the intense cold and because it would take several hours to carry out the cleaning work.
Denver police reported that several blocks of the road are closed in both directions due to “severe shocks”. Westbound lanes reopened after noon Friday, however, eastbound lanes remain closed.
The cause of the accident was the first snowfall of the season that, due to the intense cold, froze the road.
Several accidents were reported on the main highways on interstate highways 25 and 70, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
