A semi carrying heavy axles has overturned westbound on I-70 at the very west end of Dowd Junction. Both lanes are blocked. It will take a long while to clean up and a crane or other heavy piece of machinery will be required to reload the axles on to a new truck.

A home in East Vail had a rude guest last night. A bear emptied their trash cans and damaged their 2 cars. With bears becoming more active, now is the time to secure anything that might attract them. Some good rules to follow can be found here: cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Ed…
