The police tweeted, 'Last night’s storm wasn’t the worst we’ve seen but it did manage to make roads across the metro area very slick. Slow down.'
This stretch of 6th Avenue is an overpass, and as the warn, freestanding roads freeze first. A"this situation was, in many ways, unavoidable" because of the black ice conditions, two high-speed streets leading into the 6th Avenue overpass, and people who"ignore the gradual slowing" that occurs as traffic merges onto 6th heading downtown.
Thankfully, Denver police also tweeted that none of the motorists injured in the pileup suffered life-threatening injuries. It took until about midday Friday to get the road cleared, tow trucks pulling a mess of vehicles to the parking lost at Empower Field where the Denver play. The police later tweeted, "Last night’s storm wasn’t the worst we’ve seen but it did manage to make roads across the metro area very slick. Slow down."
