Another semi truck incident shuts down I-70 in Colo.

Eastbound Interstate 70 in Colorado was shut down on Thursday afternoon due to a stalled, smoking semi truck. 

The incident happened on October 3rd on I-70 eastbound near the Colorado Mills Parkway near Golden Colorado. 

According to 9 News, the tractor trailer caught fire after the driver rode the brakes down I-70 in the foothills. The burning truck then forced the temporary closure of I-70. 

The highway closure was implemented between exit 263, Colorado Mills Parkway, and exit 264, 32nd Avenue. 

The roadway has since been reopened.
