Westbound 6th Ave. reopens at Wadsworth Blvd. following multi-vehicle crash

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — A multi-vehicle crash on westbound 6th Ave. at Wadsworth Blvd. in Lakewood snarled traffic for a couple of hours early Monday afternoon.

Lakewood police posted about the crash shortly after noon Monday, saying W. 6th Ave “will be closed westbound until further notice.”

Few details about the crash were released by police — including how many vehicles were involved and what the severity of the injuries were for those involved in the crash — with officials only asking drivers to avoid the area and to plan accordingly during the afternoon commute.

“If driving westbound, you will need to exit northbound Wadsworth Blvd, and to get back on W 6th Ave you would need to make your way to Garrison,” police said.

The intersection was back open shortly after 2 p.m.
