U.S. 24 remained closed as of 8:20 a.m. Monday, while Colorado State Patrol and emergency personnel worked to clean up and investigate a fatal crash.

According to the Colorado State Patrol, there were two separate crashes just east of Florissant along U.S. 24 between Teller County Road 1 and Teller County Road 42. One of those crashes involved four vehicles, and one was a single-vehicle crash, according to Gazette news partner KOAA.

While State Patrol could not immediately identify which one of the crashes was fatal, at least one person is dead as a result of the crashes, which were called in around 5:44 a.m. Two other people were transported from the scene with injuries, according to state patrol, and one of those people required a flight for life response.

The Colorado Department of Transportation said that the road was closed in both directions. Colorado State Patrol says traffic was being diverted onto Teller County Road 1 as a detour.

If you plan to make your way west or eastbound, you should expect delays in the area. At the time of publishing this article, there is no timeline for when the road will reopen.
