Colorado Springs police say the intersection of Cresta Road and Cheyenne Boulevard has re-opened after an eight-car accident Monday morning. It was closed at least an hour.

Police say there were no injuries in the accident but it took a while for the road to reopen due to the area the accident occured in. Cresta Road and Cheyenne Boulevard intersect at the bottom of a hill and police say tow trucks had a hard time getting to the accident to clear the scene.

Cheyenne Mountain schools were not affected by the accident because they were in session by the time the accident occured.

A two hour delay still wouldn't have done any good. The snow got worse and the temps dropped. If your going to complain about something you know you have to live with, then keep your complaints to yourself. Better yet, why not leave to Southern Cal and enjoy the weather there. But, then you have all the polution, overpopulation, and heavy traffic to deal with. Suck it up!

Agree that there should have been a two hour delay...the roads were horrible, cautious driving was not enough. And KKTV should check their facts...we came upon the accident at 7:15, well before schools were in session, so Canon, CMJH, and CMHS were all affected as a major route to all three schools was closed, causing back ups on all other routes.
