Crash closes CO 119 in both directions between US 6 and Black Hawk

CENTRAL CITY, Colo. – Travelers using CO Highway 119 Friday night will need to find alternative routes if they want to go to Black Hawk because an accident will keep roads closed throughout the night, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Few details about the accident were initially available, but images obtained by AirTracker7 showed it appeared to be a head-on collision with at least two vehicles involved.

At least two people were taken to hospital, but their condition was not immediately known.

CDOT officials said CO 119 is closed in both directions between US 6 and Selak St. in Black Hawk. Officials suggested drivers use Central City Parkway to avoid the accident.

CO 119 will be closed through the night, officials said.
