Colorado Highway 9 remains closed as of 3:44 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

According to a post made by the town of Blue River on social media around 4 p.m., the continued closure of the road is due to a partially downed power line in the area “creating an additional hazard.” The post also states that officials are waiting for Xcel Energy workers to respond to the scene.

According to CDOT, the closure affects Colorado Highway 9 between County Road 4 and County Road 2 at mile marker 76, five miles south of the town of Blue River.

Update: 3 p.m.

Summit County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Mike Schilling has given an update on the lockdown order issued at 11:54 a.m. on Saturday, May 18.

In a call to the Summit Daily News Saturday afternoon, Schilling said the department released a video providing updated details on the situation on social media.

“The reason for that shelter-in-place (order) was, earlier in the day, an armed and dangerous suspect fled from law enforcement in Teller County, was spotted in Alma, and fled law enforcement in Alma headed towards Breck. He crashed his car in Blue River,” Schilling said.

Teller County is located southeast of Summit County. Alma is located in Park County.

In the video, Schilling said Teller County Sheriff’s Office deputies, Colorado State Patrol officers “and others,” attempted to stop the suspect but cut off the chase “due to public safety concerns.”

When the suspect was spotted again in Alma, the suspect allegedly led police in a chase over Hoosier Pass and towards Breckenridge. The suspect crashed his vehicle near mile marker 83 on Colorado Highway 9 in Blue River.

Local law enforcement, with Blue River Police Department taking the lead, responded to the incident and “had to safely extricate (the suspect) from the car (and) get him medical attention,” Schilling said.

Schilling said that public safety is no longer a concern and that Colorado Highway 9 will re-open “very soon.” He added that, because the incident took place in Blue River, further updates “will come from the town of Blue River or the Blue River Police.”

Update: 12:54 p.m.

The Summit County Sheriff’s Office has canceled the lockdown order for Colorado Highway 9 at Blue River Road, and State Highway 9 remains closed until further notice. According to an emergency alert issued by the Sheriff’s Office, there is no longer a threat but police remain active in the area.
