***NOT FOR BROADCAST*** Contact Brett Adair with Live Storms Media to license. brett@livestormsnow.com The Interstate 70W closure at the Morrison, Colorado exit due to whiteout conditions and blowing snow was hampered by a tractor trailer that had slidden off of the roadway and blocked the exit. This exit was to be used to turn the westbound traffic around and reroute them back east. Several stranded drivers, CDOT officials and law enforcement officials used shovels to try to free the semi but were unsuccessful. Heavy equipment was brought in to clear a path around the semi so the stranded motorists could proceed.
