Colorado State Patrol was called about the first call just before 11:30am, with approximately 20 vehicles involved. The crash occurred west of Gypsum in Eagle County, closing the westbound lanes of I-70.

Just about 15 minutes after the Gypsum crash, another pile-up occurred just east of Glenwood Springs near the No Name Lane exit, shutting down the eastbound on I-70. Around 30 vehicles were apparently involved in that crash.

I-70 was reopened in both directions by 6pm on Sunday night. Conditions in the area were reportedly very icy with visibility limited to just about 500 feet.
