EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- A portion of I-25 was closed overnight as crews worked to clear an overturned cattle truck.

It happened just before 11:30 p.m. on northbound I-25 near Ray Nixon Road, that is just south of Fountain.

The Colorado State Patrol said a semi-truck and trailer loaded with cattle was heading south when a tire blew.

The truck then crossed the center median, hit a guardrail and then overturned in the northbound lanes.

Two other cars were also involved.

No injuries were reported and the cattle were taken to a nearby ranch.
