UPDATE (1:45 p.m.):

I-25 has reopened in both directions. 

Sgt. Kyle McKay of the Wyoming Highway Patrol told K2 Radio News that the closure of I-25 northbound between mile markers 151 and 155 was due to a rollover crash and a commercial truck which caught fire.

Whether anyone was injured or how many vehicles were involved in the crash is still unknown. McKay did not immediately have further details.

We will continue updating this story as we learn more.
