A fatal motorcycle crash near County Line Road shut down southbound Interstate 25 in Lone Tree shortly after midnight.
The crash happened near milepost 195. A Colorado State Patrol account on X said it forced the southbound closure, and law enforcement officers investigated, though immediate details about the victim, the cause and the number of vehicles involved weren't available. Dan Boniface reported those developments for The Denver Gazette.
A Colorado Department of Transportation camera showed traffic moving again on the affected stretch at 6:30 a.m., the Gazette reported. The City of Lone Tree said the investigation into the fatal crash was ongoing.
A Separate Crash Near RidgeGate
Southbound I-25 in Douglas County was the scene of a different fatal motorcycle crash on April 27, 2020. A 37-year-old woman died after a two-vehicle wreck near the RidgeGate exchange at about 4:05 p.m., The Denver Post reported. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
A 2014 Jeep was the other vehicle. Its driver wasn't injured and stayed at the scene while southbound lanes were closed and traffic was detoured. That investigation was still open when the Post published. Nothing in the reporting connects that afternoon crash to the one near milepost 195.
