One person was killed after a two-vehicle accident Friday morning forced the closure of eastbound C-470, the Colorado State Patrol said.
The accident happened just after 7 a.m. on C-470 near South Platte Canyon Road. A 2008 Dodge traveling westbound rolled over into the eastbound lanes and coming to stop in the median, ejecting and killing the 22-year-old male driver.
The other vehicle involved was a 2007 Subaru. There were no other injuries.
Eastbound C-470 was closed at South Kipling Parkway and only one westbound lane was open as crews investigated the crash.
