The driver of an SUV who collided head-on with a dump truck on U.S. 6 east of Eagle on Thursday was seriously injured in the crash while the truck driver was unharmed, according to the Colorado State Patrol.<\/p>\n

Investigators do not believe alcohol, drugs or excessive speed were factors in the collision that sparked a now-contained wildfire and closed Interstate 70 and U.S. 6 in both directions for several hours Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The 71-year-old driver of the Volvo SUV was traveling westbound on U.S. 6 when he drifted into oncoming traffic, colliding with the truck headed eastbound driven by a 40-year-old man from Gypsum, said Master Trooper Gary Cutler.<\/p>\n

Cutler also clarified it was the SUV, not the truck, that caught fire in the collision, igniting dry grass nearby and starting the 27-acre Eagle River fire. Earlier reports stated the truck had caught fire.<\/p>\n

No citations have yet been issued in the crash, Cutler said.<\/p>\n

I-70 is now open in both directions, but U.S. 6 remains closed in both directions near Eagle, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n
