GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. -

CDOT is reporting that one eastbound lane is back open after a semi truck rolled in the Glenwood Canyon Tuesday morning.

According to CDOT officials, eastbound lanes of I-70 between mile markers 116-118 were closed around 7:52 a.m. and only one westbound lane was open as well.

The accident happened near the No Name Tunnel.

Just before 10:00 a.m., CDOT officials said the interstate was back open to traffic, although it may be slow going for awhile.

There's no word on the condition of the driver, but it's believed that he only suffered minor injuries.
