    WB I-70 closed at mm 97. Use State road 9 as detour. No word on what caused accident.

    Still no word on what caused it. If it was a 4 wheeler they'll probably not say. The front axle broke off. There trying to move it now.

    Looks to me like a truck probably running 60-65 MPH ran up on stopped or very slow traffic and was caught unawares, too late, braked hard and jack-knifed (just knowing that stretch of road and seeing the construction zone)

    Looks like maybe a rim in the center of the bottom?
