More than a dozen trucks overturn in high winds

More than a dozen semi trucks were overturned due to high winds in Colorado and Wyoming on Monday.

It happened on November 20th throughout northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming as winds reached 40 mph, with gusts coming in at more that 60 mph.

According to The Denver Channel, 14 overturned semis were reported at the Colorado-Wyoming state line along Interstate 25, prompting the closure of I-25 between Wellington, Colorado and the Wyoming state line.

The northbound lanes of Highway 85 were also closed in Nunn, Colorado due to the high winds.

It is not clear whether any of the truck drivers sustained injuries in the rollover crashes.

The highways have since been reopened.
