Might have been rubbernecking in scenic Glenwood Canyon after exiting the tunnel... I used to run that route all the time for one reefer outfit, hauling IBP loads from IA & NE to SoCal, then backhauling produce to the yard in IA. Colorado has some beautiful scenery, including Glenwood Canyon... but ya gotta keep an eye on the road. That stretch has the river right there, in fact there's a nice little rest area by the river, or there used to be one... I haven't driven through Glenwood Canyon in years. Bummer about the crash, but it's easy to be distracted by beautiful scenery... a subtle hazard, but it can STILL be a hazard, lol.
