    The driver of an SUV was hit and killed on the side of E-470 late Friday morning by a semi-truck driver, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) said.

    The wreck happened around 11:42 a.m. Friday, CSP said, after the driver of the SUV pulled over on the side of E-470 and got out of the vehicle to check on something.

    Northbound E-470 remains shut down completely between Jordan and Parker Roads while troopers finish the crash investigation and cleanup.

    The semi-truck driver remained on scene after the wreck and is cooperating with the investigation, according to CSP.

    Access to Interstate 70 from southbound E-470 near Aurora will be closed for an extended period of time today after a tractor-trailer carrying windmill parts broke down on the highway.

    The semi-truck’s trailer was hauling drivetrain components for a windmill that shifted during transport, causing the trailer to break, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

    Troopers were called to the scene just before 5 a.m. Saturday near milepost 20.

    The southbound E-470 exit for Aurora and I-70, exit 20, is closed as emergency crews work to remove the semi from the road, state patrol officials said.

    “Motorists should plan on an alternative route,” the agency said Saturday morning.
