An avalanche on Loveland Pass caused chaos on Friday night, trapping at least one vehicle and leading to the closure of U.S. 6 in both directions. The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office reported the incident at 7:45 p.m. and confirmed that no injuries had been reported. The closure of the highway spans between Interstate 70 and mile 229, which is 10 miles east of Keystone Ski Resort, as per the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Colorado’s mountains are bracing for up to three feet of snow over the weekend as a winter storm sweeps through the high country, adding to the hazardous conditions on the roads. With the situation still unfolding, updates on the avalanche and road closures will continue to be provided.
