The eastbound truck had two occupants who were taken to a local hospital. Their conditions are unknown.
The driver of the westbound truck was not injured.

Investigators are looking into all possible causes of the accident.

Road conditions: Eastbound I-70 was closed between Exit 163 (Edwards) and Exit 167 (Avon) but has since reopened one lane.

The Colorado State Patrol has not yet issued any charges as the investigation continues.
