The driver of the semitruck was uninjured, the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said, and there were no other injuries reported.

Law enforcement was initially not allowing semitruckers to use the Front Road detour past the lake, as of 6:48 a.m. Wednesday, causing traffic to stack up along eastbound I-70, Luber said.

The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office said eastbound traffic was diverted onto Argentine Street and Alvarado Road at Georgetown.
