UPDATE
A fifth person died in hospital of injuries sustained in the giant I-25 pileup in Pueblo, the state patrol said Wednesday.
Four people were pronounced dead at the scene of Tuesday's crash involving 29 passenger vehicles and seven semis during a dust storm and near zero visibility. Twenty-nine people were transported to hospital.
A motorist told Fox 31: "I’m still in kind of shock. Everything happened so fast."
All the casualties occurred in northbound lanes. Debris was scattered across the interstate. The cleanup went on for more that 13 hours.
The patrol said the deceased victims were Colorado residents.
Governor Jared Polis said: "I’m grateful to the Colorado State Patrol and first responders who worked quickly in dangerous conditions."
