A fatal collision involving an RTD bus forced the closure of all westbound lanes of Interstate 70 in Denver for nearly three hours on Monday morning.
According to Denver police, the crash occurred around 6:20 a.m. near Holly Street when a vehicle struck the rear of RTD’s 15L bus. The driver of the vehicle, who was the only occupant, was pronounced dead at the scene. Their identity has not yet been released.
Officials confirmed the bus was not in service at the time and had no passengers on board. The bus driver was not injured.
The interstate was shut down between Quebec Street and Dahlia Street exits while investigators and emergency crews handled the scene. All lanes reopened shortly after 9 a.m., but the closure caused significant traffic delays, and drivers were urged to seek alternate routes.
Aerial footage showed multiple police units, an ambulance, and the damaged vehicle alongside the stopped bus.

I am being sued for injuries from an accident I didn’t cause. My boyfriend and I had been looking everywhere for a lawyer, and everyone said they couldn’t help—that was it. Needless to say, I was stressed out! I reached out to Legal Assist, and Mr. Dominic Genco contacted me in less than 5 minutes. Although he wasn’t able to represent me for this case, he directed us to our insurance and provided helpful tips. Truly grateful and super helpful! If I’m ever in a situation where he can represent me, I will go to him!

I was injured in a hit and run. Although my insurance had coverage, they initially failed to provide any assistance. Fortunately, I contacted them and they did everything for me. I learned a lot about the process and now feel confident having thorough representation in the future.
