Snaking East/West through the Rocky Mountain front, the Interstate 70 is a popular throughway for both truckers and non-commercial drivers. Trucks use the highway to get to and from Summit County, while long-haul truckers use the road as they pass through the state. At the same time, skiers use I-70 to access Colorado’s famous resorts, including Vail and Aspen, in the winter and spring, and to access hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation in the summer and fall months.
Because the road is crowded with a mix of traffic, and also because the road bends through various mountain passes and rough terrain, it is a hotbed of trucking accidents year round. The causes of these accidents vary, but you should speak with a truck accident lawyer if you have been involved in a I-70 trucking crash.
