20-car pile-up shuts down I-70 near Frisco

FRISCO, Colo. – Three people were injured in a 20-car pile-up that temporarily closed eastbound Interstate 70 just west of Frisco on Sunday.

Colorado State Patrol spokesman Nathaniel Reid says the three were taken to Summit Medical Center after the crashes but there was no word on their conditions.

Snowy weather caused problems for the area much of Sunday afternoon. Earlier in the day westbound lanes of I-70 were closed for an hour while multiple accidents were cleared off the road. No injuries were reported then.
