Rob Rosenthal:

A stretch of interstate in Colorado has proven treacherous again, this time sending six people to the hospital. I'm Rob Rosenthal and this is an AskTheLawyers™ legal brief.

Multiple vehicles and semi-trailers were involved in a pile up yesterday on I-25 south of Loveland, Colorado. The crash happened around 12:30 in the afternoon, and kept the northbound lanes of the interstate closed for more than four hours.

Loveland Fire Rescue Authority said on Facebook that more than 17 vehicles were involved, including three semi-trailers, five large vehicles, and multiple small passenger vehicles. Six people were taken to the hospital with injuries.

Attorneys Tom Metier and Grant Lawson are truck accident specialists with the Metier Law Firm, and Metier is one of only a handful of attorneys in the United States to be board certified in trucking accident law.

About this latest crash, they say, “Trucking companies and their drivers are responsible for knowing the driving conditions they're heading into. They have a responsibility, especially in the winter, to know what the road conditions are ahead of them for proper planning. On top of this responsibility is the utmost duty to adjust to real-time driving conditions. Driving a tractor trailer in icy and snowy conditions requires drivers to slow down, keep control of their truck and maintain safe stopping distances. Drivers who fail to follow the safety protocols should be held responsible.”

This is the second major crash to close I-25 in the same area in less than a week. Last Friday, the driver of a Jeep SUV was pinned in his vehicle between two semi-trailers on the Big Thompson River bridge near Loveland. That crash closed down some of the lanes of I-25 for seven hours.
