A Colorado State Patrol vehicle was struck Saturday morning while responding to a crash on I-70.

The highway was temporarily closed near milepost 105, New Castle between Rifle and Glenwood Springs while the scene was cleared. Officials said neither the trooper nor the other driver involved in the crash were injured.
