Doris Anderson, 80, of Grand Junction, Colorado, was driving northbound in a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. Anderson started to change lanes, and Schlichting went into the median to avoid Anderson’s vehicle and lost control.

The extent of Schlichting’s injuries are unknown.
Both the north and south inside lanes were blocked for emergency vehicles for about three hours while crews worked to clear the scene.
