“Cold reporting” for accidents active in Colorado county

“Cold reporting” for accidents active in Colorado county

Drivers are urged to stay off the roads as most of Colorado braces more snow from Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.

The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office tweeted out Tuesday saying, “we are now on cold reporting. If you are involved in an accident and there are no injuries, no drugs or alcohol involved, exchange information and report the accident in the next few days. Drive with caution. Roads are extremely slick.”

Cold reporting means that if a driver is involved in a crash where alcohol or drugs are not involved and there are no injuries, then you may exchange information and report the accident within 72 hours, without calling a police officer to the scene.

Please note: all status and alerts from local police departments are subject to change.

Drivers are dealing with snowy, icy, and slick roads across most of the state. CDOT reported several critical disruptions including CO 5, US 6, US 24, I-25, I-70, CO 71, CO 82, Co 91, Co 139, US 285, and US 550. The Denver Police Department also reported over 141 crashes since midnight.

The driving conditions are so bad, the Colorado State Patrol even advised employers to close their doors early Tuesday and open late Wednesday with a message saying, “safety of your people over profits.”

The Foothills, Denver Metro area, I-70 Mountain Corridor, and I-25 South Gap are expected to receive the heaviest amounts of snow, leading to hazardous road conditions. If you must go out, please travel with extreme caution. Stay alert, slow down, and be careful out there!
