Golden, CO – A semi-truck rollover on Grapevine Road has forced authorities to shut down the roadway in both directions, causing major delays for drivers in Jefferson County.

According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the crash happened Tuesday and resulted in a fuel spill across the roadway. Deputies reported that cleanup operations are underway but the road is expected to remain closed for several more hours.

The semi, which rolled onto its side near a wooded section of the road, blocked both lanes of travel. No injuries have been reported at this time, but crews are working to mitigate the environmental hazards caused by the leaking fuel.

Authorities have not released information on what caused the rollover. Drivers are being asked to avoid the area and use alternate routes until the road reopens.

Traffic delays are expected throughout the afternoon as recovery crews work to safely clear the wreckage and repair the roadway. Officials say an update will be provided once Grapevine Road is reopened.
