Serious accident closes Hwy 66 at Main St. (Hwy 287) in all directions until 4pm.

What we know at the moment is that a stolen 2015 black Jeep Cherokee was headed southbound to Longmont on Hwy 287 traveling at a high rate of speed. A cement truck was heading eastbound on Hwy 66. The two collided in the intersection. The driver of the cement truck and one occupant of the Jeep were taken to a local hospital. One occupant of the Jeep was flown to a hospital in Denver.

Because the accident is under investigation, this intersection will be closed until at least 4pm. Choose alternate routes for your travel Monday afternoon. Temporary traffic signal pole will be placed at the SE corner of the intersection. Stay up to date by visiting our website and following us on Twitter and Facebook.
