Arapahoe County, CO – Deputies are warning drivers to slow down this morning as icy conditions caused a crash on southbound Interstate 225 near the South Parker Road on-ramp.
According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Deputies Basile and Swasching responded to a non-injury collision involving multiple vehicles. Officials say the roads are “extremely icy,” and motorists are urged to keep extra distance between vehicles to prevent sliding into other cars.
The crash temporarily slowed traffic along the busy corridor as deputies worked to clear the scene and ensure no further incidents occurred. No injuries were reported, but authorities stress that ice buildup remains a serious hazard across the Denver metro area.
Drivers are encouraged to reduce speed, brake gently, and allow more space when merging or turning—especially during early morning and evening commutes when black ice is most likely to form.
The Sheriff’s Office also advised that even small patches of ice can cause vehicles to lose traction unexpectedly. Motorists should plan extra travel time and avoid sudden movements while on the road.
