Two people were killed early Friday morning after a motorist driving in the wrong direction in the northbound lanes of Interstate 25 collided with another vehicle just south of 6th Avenue in Denver.
Both motorists were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which was reported to police just before 3 a.m., the Denver Police Department said on social media. There were no passengers in either vehicle.
“We’re still trying to determine where the wrong-way driver got on the highway,” said Denver police spokesperson Doug Schepman.
Schepman said it was too early to determine if alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident.
The crash prompted the closure of the northbound lanes of I-25 near 6th Avenue, which were reopened just after 6:30 a.m.
