VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia confirms that South Metro Fire Rescue serves Greenwood Village, there is no evidence in the provided results confirming a specific response to a crash north of Arapahoe Road at 9:40 p.m.

Claim 2: “The section of road has since reopened.”
SINGLE SOURCE
A web search result mentions that southbound lanes of I-25 were closed for several hours but have since reopened following a crash near Orchard Road. While this corroborates the general fact that roads reopen after crashes in that area, it refers to a crash near Orchard Road involving a DUI, not necessarily the specific Thursday night crash mentioned in the other claims.

Claim 3: “One person was taken to the hospital... after a crash near Greenwood Village on Thursday night”

The claim is directly supported by a cross-reference from Denver7. However, the web search and Wikipedia results provided are irrelevant (discussing the number 1, shipping companies, and unrelated schools), meaning there is only one independent news source confirming this specific event.

Claim 4: “southbound lanes of Interstate 25 were closed after a crash near Greenwood Village on Thursday night”

The provided evidence for this claim consists of irrelevant results regarding a 2015 movie called 'Southbound', general geography, and unrelated highways. No evidence confirms the closure of I-25 southbound lanes on a Thursday night near Greenwood Village.
