FOUNTAIN, CO : 2 crashes force shutdown of SB I-25 at Fountain on Thursday, 12th August 2021

A pair of crashes has tangled traffic just south of Colorado Springs early Thursday afternoon.

State Patrol tells 11 News the crashes happened within two miles of one another, both on southbound I-25. The first involved just one vehicle, a camper trailer, which flipped over on the interstate just after 11 a.m. at mile marker 130.

No injuries were reported, but southbound I-25 has had to be closed for crews to right the trailer.

Thirty minutes later, three vehicles collided near the Mesa Ridge Parkway exit (132). A spokesperson with State Patrol says a vehicle hauling a trailer triggered a chain reaction crash involving an SUV and a Honda CRV. The spokesperson did not know what caused the collision. No injuries were reported.
