Avalanche sweeps cars off U.S. 40 in Colorado - USATODAY.comWow, I never thought an highway as busy and popular as Interstate 40 will have this kind of an accident. Cars are swept from the highway by an avalanche. We were so lucky when we drove on Hwy 40 and it was snowing at Arizona. Thank You the big guy above for keep us safe the whole trip. Be careful if you are driving Hwy 80/50 to Tahoe.
