Heard that report also. Must be some real bad conditions up that way. Also heard the call just come in for a party that is requesting the officer to stay with unoccupied stranded car, until they are able to retrieve it. Obviously this person doesn't realize the situation up North, to expect them to sit with a vehicle.

Call came in for a trapped party in a car at highway 79 and county road 4, just south of Prospect Valley. Fire is being advised to not go code on calls in the area, due to the extreme hazard of the area.

Agree Troop. If travel in that area could be avoided, it should.

Watching the CDOT website, and the cameras that they have on the site. And at I-70 and Floyd hill NW, CSP is sitting behind a rollover accident on the camera view. This is one of the live cameras.
