Saturday was a busy day for emergency rescue and response on the highways in the Roaring Fork Valley. 

Eastbound I-70 was closed for nearly two hours through Glenwood Canyon due to an accident. Shortly before 2 p.m. a red SUV caught fire heading westbound at Cattle Creek Road, causing a massive backup and delays. 

Around the same time a semi knocked down power lines on Highway 133 in Carbondale close to the Highway 82 junction.
