Event narrative (NOAA)
Dense freezing fog led to slick conditions on area roads, specifically I-70. The low visibility and slick conditions caused a multiple vehicle accident on east bound I-70 near mile marker 65. The east bound lanes of I-70 were closed for a short time as a result. Eight or nine vehicles and one semi were involved. The accident led to two fatalities. No injuries were reported.
