Aug. 22—Officials have reopened westbound U.S. 36 near Broomfield after a 4-vehicle crash Monday morning.

Broomfield police tweeted at 8:37 a.m. that traffic was being diverted from Boulder-bound U.S. 36 to the Flatirons exit.

Police said there would be "significant delays" in the area, and at one point Broomfield police said traffic on westbound U.S. 36 was backed up to Wadsworth Boulevard.

But Broomfield police tweeted at 11:10 a.m. that they had reopened the road.

Colorado State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis said the crash involved four vehicles, including one commercial vehicle. Lewis said only one person suffered minor injuries.
