PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — A major crash closed northbound I-25 in the Colorado City area early Wednesday morning.

Just after 4 a.m., the Colorado State Patrol announced there would be an "extended" road closure just north of Thacker Road of northbound I-25. The area is just south of Colorado City.

"Traffic is being diverted to Thacker Road," Colorado State Patrol posted to social media. "Choose an alternate route. Expect traffic delays. It is unknown when the road will reopen."

Colorado State Patrol (CSP) says the driver was transported, but details on their exact injuries weren't available. The crash involved a single semi truck that was carrying vodka and CSP added that northbound I-25 would be closed for "most of the day."
