a developing story.

terrible crash involving a semi in superior. a 35 year old man from thorn ton was the victim. a truck tipped over on him. he was caught in the rear tires of a semi truck. he suffered massive trauma to his lower body but was conscious for a brief time after officers arrived. a medical chopper came to the scene. 128 was closed for hours in the area and cut off businesses, apartments, bloom field jail. the highway reopened just after 10:00 this morning. colorado highway 133 is closed between hug kiss and glenwood springs because of a rock slide. it will be at least saturday before they can reopen the area. the slide yesterday left more than 100 tons of debris on the highway. it damaged the surface of the road way and a concrete barrier as well. we'll keep you posted. authorities want mountain

after dangerous traps were found on the dirt surfer trail. the sheriffs office is working with other agencies to determine where the traps came from. anyone with information is asked to call eagle county sheriffs office at (970)328- 8500. the reentry process begins for some of the junkins fire evacuees. the fire burning in homes and forced hundreds near west cliff to evacuate. at 10:00 residents from some subdivisions started returning home. it's not much now but the fire is 3% contained. it has burned almost 17,000 acres. on the opposite end of the spectrum can you believe we are talking about ski season right now? it is officially less than 24 hours away. this is a look at a basin, what

will be able to access intermediate high noon trail via black mountain express cliff. it's hard to believe it is happening so far. the reason is the fact that we have had temperatures in the 80s last weekend. >> we had the heat area. in the mountains they have been cool enough to start cooking some of the snow fall. i think if you are going early, you should have no problems. no rain, with. everyone else is getting there and wanting to get on the first chair. we will have plenty blue skies tomorrow, similar to what we are looking at today. it is gorgeous overlooking downtown denver. it is tough to find any clouds. temperatures in the upper 40s and lower 50s around the front range. it is still awfully chilly in steamboat springs at 37.

the area. we'll stay dry throughout the day with the winds picking up ever so slightly from the southeast, around the 15 to 20- mile per hour range, gusting a bit more towards love land cash. around i-25, not too shabby. the rest of the evening is looking good with sunshine and temperatures cooling to the lower 50s. by dinner today, cool and clear, right where we should be with low 60s this afternoon. tomorrow, tgif, we will have plenty sunshine whether in the mountains or on the planes. it looks good. wait until you see my weekend forecast. the temperatures will be warming up dramatically, soaring into potentially the 80s yet again. >> again! okay. we'll wait for the full forecast. thank you. the count down is on. 19 days until the election. the candidates are making good

their energy last night. polls suggest that hillary clinton was the winner but donald trump is grabbing headlines. they're talking about him refusing to say he will accept the results if hillary clinton wins. >> i will look at it at the time. i will keep you in suspense. >> let me respond to that because that's horrifying. >> trump's statement contradicts what his running mate mike pence said before the debate. it is a reversal of his own statement during the firs the results. analysts say the reason it is important for candidates to accept the results is for a peaceful transition of power, something president obama highlighted this week. >> the person who loses the election congratulates the winner, reaffirms our democracy and we move forward. that's how democracy survives. >> donald trump maintained that the election is rigged. we posed the theory to our 9

republican, the other a democrat. here is what they had to say. decentralized and a majority of secretaries of state also happen to be republicans. i think ultimately unless it is very close or unless there is some kind of report of widespread fraud that he will concede if he loses and she will concede if he wins. >> they're decentralized. elections are administered by un republican by the way. to have this national conspiracy is pre-post russ. >> we have been fact checking the remarks and claims made by both candidates during last night's debate. find the articles assessing what they said on our website. candidates are viewing for your vote. when you are done filling out your ballot, there is one thing

it is illegal in colorado to show completed ballots including posting photos of yours on social media. if you do, it's a misdemeanor. the purpose is to prevent voter fraud. colorado is one of many states that ban ballot selfies. an intense battle but quicker than expected. iraq's prime minister is expecting confidence in the fight to retake mosul from isis. >> reporte when iraq security forces will be penetrating into mosul itself. again, this is iraq's second largest city and it is the superbowl of battles when it comes to islamic state being fought in iraq. we know that the battle is going apace. we have seen advances yesterday and the day before and they're likely to be quite a bit of action today. the plan today is for the

and northeast and a little bit from mosul as they press further into the city itself. iraq security forces have added to the battle. counter terrorism units. these were trained in the united states and are prepared to up the fight. these will be the people moving into mosul itself and bringing fight to the heart of isis in mosul, iraq's second largest city. the barrier will be civilians. there are 1.2 million civilians left in mosul and there is concern that be used them as human shields. it's not uncommon for firefighters to save lives. firefighters in portland saved more people than they expected. they pulled a fire alarm to get people out of a building minutes before an explosion. they were responding to a call about a gas leak. once everybody was out the

district and eight people were injured, including three firefighters. tesla is banking on autonomous vehicles, so much so that they're making new vehicles with the hardware to make them fully self driving. the ceo says that way the company is ready once government regulations allow. they released the video showing self driving capabilities featuring a tesla driving through town and itself. the self driving hardware includes eight cameras, a dozen sensors, faster radar. did you buy apple from amazon? it could be fake. it bought a number of products labeled genuine and say nearly 90% were counterfeit. this comes in a federal lawsuit filed by apple. apple says mobile star imprinted apple's logo on

overheating, catching fire. it said it purchased the products on amazon and later said they were fake. amazon is not named in the lawsuit. where is the best beer in colorado? we'll hear from a guy who is an expert on the issue and his two friends as well. >> first, clear and cool today,

temperatures are still kind of cool. we'll be warming to the 60s by this afternoon. looking to the weekend it will look and feel more like summer time around here, the the metro area. in the high country it is looking more like winter. this is our web camera in breckinridge, a little bit of snow fall on the slopes as they're working away getting ready to open up. a basin tomorrow, 9:00 am sharp, bright and blue biking jaunt. it feels fantastic, cool in the 30s in steamboat and nederland. the month isn't over but we're running pretty warm. it is the 4th warmest october on record. we'll see what the next several days do to that number of course. we are at 49 at the airport. it is still cool with winds out of the southeast at eight miles

you can see across the area low 60s for front range this afternoon. we climb to the low 50s for the mountains and warmer at the western slope closer to 70. around colorado it has been dry and we'll keep it that way for the next seven days in fact. the pacific northwest is bracing for more wet weather. they have just been drenched. rain showers pushing into the coastline,pu look of snow fall toward the cascades. around here we will be watching for a few clouds. temperatures will be warmer than earlier this morning. 36 will be our overnight low. you see the rest of this afternoon and this evening looks fantastic. dinner time, not a cloud out there. tonight and tomorrow morning you may find a few clouds to the west of town. we will be watching for breezy conditions. if you are a fan of the

here. mid 70s on tap tomorrow. we are close, just one degree shy of 80 saturday. heading to start of next week it looks like a storm system will barely brush us by. if anything it will bring a few showers monday to the mountains and foothills, maybe a little bit creeping into the metro area tuesday morning. by afternoon it is long gone. you see it doesn't affect our temperatures that much. we stay in the 70s wednesday, thursday, and finally maybe we'll have a better shot by next friday to see rain around here. so far, monday evening's

talk about getting a return on your investment. we'll talk about that story in a second. first, one involving the environmental protection agency. the internal watch dog says the agency should have acted sooner to respond to the water crisis in flint, michigan. inspector general says the cy enough information to issue emergency order protecting residents of flint against the water as early as june last year. that's seven months before the epa declared emergency. now to the big investment. a company that owns an apartment complex in denver just sold the complex for $112 million. that's more than double the original price 16 years ago

lowry apartments are along south fairmont drive. there are about 400 units in the complex. a big return on that investment. if you spend time in breckinridge you will see changes with parking. those could make it more expensive to spend time in the mountain town. parking along main street has always been free but soon the town will start charging to park along main eets. paid parking stations have started to be installed. paying in december. the town is trying to keep people from parking in town and then skiing. we'll have more on this this afternoon. three men successfully made it to every single brewery in colorado. that's 298 to be exact in case you are counting. they began their beer tour in january last year. they call themselves the colorado beer barens.

spots. yesterday they completed their goal, the final stretch of the tour took place in colorado springs. it's a journey that began with an idea that seemed simple enough. >> me and george found out there were a couple more down the road. we were like we're going to start over and do every brewery in colorado. we called gary and he was like i am in too. any time one opens make our way. >> they won't stop drinking beer any time soon. they made a list of the breweries on their website but refused to rate them. it took them 642 days to meet the goal and say they would have done it faster if their wallets would have allowed. just because it is getting cooler does not mean it is time to coast when it comes to your

my proteges all seas have been kidding me, goading me really to reveal the true me, the man behind the vest. so this is it. we've got jogger pants, t- shirt, scruff efface, mad scientist hair. it's pretty much garden, scruffy and chaotic. so many things to do, so little time. >> speaking of time, you may remember six weeks ago we replaced this turf lawn with this wooly thyme. now we will dress it up a little bit by adding some minor bulbs. we will go for a much more natural look and plant this where they land. avoid the jumbo dutch. they don't work well for this

inches with the root side down. >> what we're doing is taking the geraniums and piling them to go downstairs in the basement. these will grow and get leggy and in the spring we will cut them back and use them for cuttings to put in the garden. we just trim back the flowers and dead leaves and put them in the pots. when we take the geraniums in the house in the we are cutting these about halfway back. these will go in pots for the winter. >> i am so relieved i finally came clean -- that's hardly the word -- about how i really dress. it is worth getting dirty. don't let those begonias

witness stand it can be emotional and scary. a fresno california courtroom is trying to fix that problem. their solution is puppies. therapy dogs will serve as victims' advocates. they hope the dogs will help young witnesses calm their nerves. the first one was used to help comfort a girl crying on the witness stand. some judges need time to warm up to the idea but the district attorney says the dogs will be used every day it will get warmer.

the game is happening next monday. it looks fantastic, dry, mild temperatures for kick off. we are going to be in the lower 60s. we'll cool off but it will be dry across the metro area. background for this weekend, hot. temperatures will be in the 70s, mid to upper 70s with plenty sunshine.

maybe just a couple isolated showers tuesday morning. that's it. we warm things up and maybe by next friday we'll get a round. >> the 70s won't away. >> that's okay. i'm cool with it. >> a little more sunshine will be all right. join our friends at 4:00 for 9
