DENVER, CO – Authorities re-opened northbound lanes on I-25 Thursday evening after a tanker truck rolled over on I-25, in a five-vehicle accident that sent four people to the hospital Thursday morning. The accident occurred at the Park Avenue exit just before the "mousetrap" near I-70.
Colorado State Patrol, Denver Fire and Denver police helped in the aftermath, which included reversing express lanes from southbound to northbound and a hazmat crew cleaning up spilled industrial fluid.
If you are passing the northbound I-25 at Park Avenue closure on the northbound I-25 Express Lanes, please keep your eyes looking ahead to avoid another crash. Don’t be this person who just had to slam on their brakes and skid because they were looking to the side pic.twitter.com/9NzYooeHsQ

**EXPRESS LANE TRAFFIC ALERT** Lanes will shortly be OUTBOUND instead of DOWNTOWN INBOUND to eliminate NB blockage due to the collision at the mousetrap, those on EB Hwy 36, prepare to move right and enter I25 SB from the through lanes and not express lanes #cotraffic
