A southbound semitruck rolled Monday morning on U.S. 285 over on Kenosha Pass, closing the highway for a while until it was fully cleared a little before 2 p.m.
The Colorado State Patrol got the call about a jackknifed truck roughly 18 miles north of Fairplay around 9:40 a.m.
Sgt. Ivan Alvarado said the truck was pulled off the road and a hazardous-materials crew was on its way to the crash site to clean up fuel leaking from the gas tank. Traffic was closed in both directions until about noon, when the northbound lane reopened.
The highway was fully reopened about a couple of hours later.
The driver didn’t complain of any injuries, Alvarado said. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
