Two separate incidents slowed down traffic along Interstate 25 near Greenwood Village in both directions Thursday evening, according to a Colorado State Patrol spokesperson.

The incidents took place around the Arapahoe Road exit and have backed up traffic since approximately 7 p.m.

The backups were caused by a multi-vehicle crash that occurred in the southbound direction, while a box truck caught fire due to a tire issue that happened while it was traveling northbound, according to Colorado State Patrol.
