Crashes involving about 70 vehicles on Tuesday snarled a section of a snowy Colorado highway and sent eight people to the hospital. It caused the closure of the eastbound side of Interstate 70 in Clear Creek County, about 80 km west of Denver. Officials evaluated 19 people for injuries and took eight of them to the hospital, including one person who had "sustained serious bodily injuries," they said.
