I was in Cherry Creek this am. Still many many side streets that have not seen a plow. Not to mention that King stupids and Not so Safeway are all ready out of food. The big hairy question is...what did everyone learn from round 1?

 

[jimmnn]

I-70 now closed both directions Georgetown to the Ike Tunnel at least.

I imagine the county EOC is doing the same, but since I'm at work today and not there, I can't swear to it. The vast areas of eastern El Paso County always pose quite a problem during these types of incidents.

KIT CARSON - A 60-year-old tow truck driver was killed on the job after being struck by a car on I-70 on Thursday.

Colorado State Patrol says 60-year-old Joe C. Taterhorst of Burlington was struck by a 2004 tan Ford Taurus in the westbound lanes of I-70.

Troopers say 28-year-old Bennie L. Hoskins, Jr. of Denver lost control of the Taurus, hit Taterhorst, continued out of control and hit a blue and white 1991 International tow truck which was parked and unattended. The Ford finally came to rest on all wheels in the right lane of I-70.

Taterhorst was transported to the Kit Carson County hospital where he was pronounced dead, troopers say.

Troopers say Hoskins and his three female passengers, 27-year-old Latrina Burns, a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old were not injured in the crash.

Speed is a suspected contributing factor in the crash whereas alcohol and drugs are not, according to state patrol.
