Mudslide traps over a hundred motorists overnight in Colorado

Colorado’s main east-west highway remains closed after mudslides buried cars and blocked tunnels along parts of Interstate-70 near Glenwood Canyon.

Officials said motorists should expect it to stay closed through the weekend.

“There are severe impacts in the canyon due to mudslides and debris flow; there is also heavy rain in the forecast,” the Colorado Department of Transportation said in a tweet Friday afternoon.
