Six people were taken to the hospital after a “serious” multi-vehicle crash that closed southbound Interstate 25 and a light rail line near Greenwood Village on Thursday night.
South Metro Fire Rescue crews responded to the crash at 6:52 p.m. near I-25 and Arapahoe Road, the agency said on social media. A hazardous materials truck also responded to the scene for a fuel leak from one of the vehicles.
Further information about the severity of injuries was not immediately available.
The highway will likely be closed for an extended period of time, and the Regional Transportation District’s E Line is also shut down because of debris from the crash on the track, South Metro spokesperson Brian Willie said.
Shuttle buses are replacing E Line service at the Lincoln, County Line, Dry Creek, Arapahoe at Village Center, Orchard, Belleview and Southmoor stations until further notice, according to an RTD alert.
Southbound I-25 is closed at exit 198 for Orchard Road and Greenwood Village, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
The Greenwood Village Police Department is investigating the crash, Willie said.
