    I am using Swift only because I saw several of you stopped by this accident. And I quote,


    I-25 northbound has reopened after a deadly crash at milemarker 114 (Young Hollow exit) Wednesday night. The interstate was closed for about five hours because of that crash.
    Authorities say a pickup truck towing a trailer was headed southbound on the interstate around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, when the trailer became detached. It swerved across the median and into the northbound lanes.

    A semi-truck headed northbound collided with the trailer. The driver of the semi, 57-year-old William Grissom of Las Animas, was pronounced dead on scene.
    The driver of the pickup truck, 40-year-old Chris Stellmach of Colorado Springs, was not injured in the crash.
    Two other cars were damaged from flying debris. The drivers of those cars were not hurt.
    Crews also had to mop up a diesel fuel leak from the semi-truck.
    A grass fire also sparked nearby when the accident first happened. Officials say the fire spread to 10 acres but it was put out quickly.
    State troopers say that alcohol use, drug use, and excessive speed are not considered as contributing factors to this crash.
