One firefighter and two other people were taken to the hospital on after a series of crashes on Interstate 70 Wednesday afternoon.
The Clear Creek County Fire Authority says a car hit a ladder truck on I-70 at the base of Floyd Hill as the firefighters were responding to a different crash.
The crashes shut down eastbound I-70 for a time.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, the first crash was when a car hit the guardrail. A second accident happened when another car hit the first one.
State Patrol says a Jeep then hit the back of the fire truck.
State Patrol says there was also a fourth crash that was a hit-and-run, but did not have any other details.
