The aftermath left a smoldering stretch of highway in Lakewood, with towering orange flames and black smoke.
By Alex Horton Alex Horton General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 26 at 9:53 AM Multiple people were killed Thursday near Denver after an “out-of-control” tractor-trailer roared down a hill and into a traffic jam, incinerating cars and semi-trucks in a chain-reaction fireball.
The aftermath left a blazing apocalyptic stretch of highway in Lakewood, Colo., with towering orange flames belching columns of black smoke. The truck slammed into the jam, “causing a very big chain-reaction crash that ignited and started a fire,” Countryman said Thursday, describing the scene as “devastation.”
Video taken around the time of the crash showed a semi barreling down the interstate at high speed as traffic around the truck lurches forward. The truck “scared the bejeebies out of me,” McCutchen said on a second video he posted on his channel. “And then I just see this huge explosion and fire and smoke coming from the other side of the overpass.”
