GLENWOOD CANYON — The Colorado Department of Transportation has been assessing crashes in Glenwood Canyon and along Interstate 70 to figure out the main times, causes and locations of each incident.
What they found was that all of the crashes in the canyon were due to speeding. Meanwhile, 22% of canyon closures were due to collisions with commercial motor vehicles (CMV), according to Elise Thatcher, CDOT’s region three communications manager.
The top three contributing factors in crashes along the Western Slope I-70 corridor in Garfield, Eagle and Summit counties from January through March were speeding, lane violations and following too closely.
Speeding, lane violations (weaving in and out of traffic to try and get ahead of another car) and FOLLOWING TO CLOSELY.
I see these things every day. Every day!
