I-70 Crash

A pretty spectacular crash on I-70 this morning.  A Semi hit a construction abutment west of Fruita and crashed into a creek.  The cab dangled over the edge and the rest of the rig blocked the eastbound lanes.  The driver was walking around, but did go to a hospital.  The Daily Sentinel online says at least one fuel tank ruptured and the Grand Junction Fire Department haz-mat team used a boom to try prevent diesel from reaching the Colorado River.
