Original coverage:

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) reports that the right northbound lane of I-25, north of Monument, is closed due to a traffic crash.

According to the Colorado State Patrol (CSP), the crash involved a Honda Accord and a GMC Yukon. CSP says that the GMC Yukon rolled multiple times due to the crash.

The driver of the Yukon was pronounced dead on the scene, and their passenger was flown to a nearby hospital.

At this time, CSP has not provided any information regarding the cause of the crash or the identities of those involved.

The closure is between Exit 163: County Line Road and Exit 167: Greenland, north of the Woodmoor exit, at Mile Point 164.

There's currently a detour in place, and drivers should expect delays and slower speeds. CSP has not provided an ETA on when the lane of traffic will reopen.

At the time of publishing, News5 is working to get more information on the crash. We will update this article as more information becomes available.
