A five-car crash briefly closed westbound Interstate 70 just west of Colorado Boulevard in Denver on Friday morning.
The Colorado Department of Transportation closed westbound lanes around 9:30 a.m. to clean up the crash between the exits for Colorado and Brighton boulevards. An hour later, CDOT said all lanes had been reopened.
