All lanes on westbound Interstate 70 are back open after a semi-tractor trailer hit multiple vehicles just west of the E-470 overpass.

The Colorado State Patrol said that at least six vehicles were hit by the semi in the western part of Aurora, including another semi.

At least one vehicle caught fire as a result of the crash.

LOCATION: Westbound lanes of I-70 at E-470.

On 8-8-08 at approximately 8:24 A.M. Troopers responded to the westbound lanes of I-70 just west of E-470.

All vehicles were westbound on I-70. Traffic was being diverted into the right lane by the Colorado Department of Transportation due to an accident investigation approximately one mile ahead.
A gray 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer had just entered onto I-70 from E-470 and moved into the right lane. A blue 2007 International truck tractor pulling a semi trailer collided with the rear of the trailblazer, then struck the rear of a white 2004 Chevrolet Venture van. The International continued westbound and was involved with/ initiated multiple other impacts. A silver 2000 Ford Windstar van spun and its left side went into the rear of a red
2002 Freightliner truck tractor, which spun the Freightliner off the right side of the interstate. The final impact was when the front of a silver Toyota Tundra pick up truck struck the rear of a trailer that was being pulled by a red 2002 Dodge pick up truck.

The restrained driver of the blue International has been identified as Neil B. Jerue, 38 of St. George, UT. Jerue sustained no injuries and was not transported.
