Surprise winter storm cripples traffic in Denver, Colorado

A surprise winter storm crippled holiday travel in Denver, Colorado on December 28, 2022.

Winter Storm Warnings went out but not in time, Live Storms Media reports. Dozens and dozens of vehicles and semis were stranded on I-70 from Denver to Idaho Springs where multiple rescues have been underway transporting people to safety via tow trucks.

Conditions are so slick that even wreckers are getting stuck as they attempt to pull vehicles up the passes.

Drivers have been stranded for more than 10 hours.
