An exit lane of southbound E-470 is closed east of Denver after the trailer of a semi-truck carrying wind turbine components broke early Saturday morning.

According to Colorado State Patrol, just before 5 a.m., troopers responded to reports of a stalled truck near milepost 20 just south of Interstate 70.

Troopers and road crews quickly learned that the trailer itself broke and the driver was unable to continue driving. The truck was hauling a wind turbine drivetrain component, which shifted on the trailer, causing it to break, according to CSP.
