Claim 3: “Southbound Wadsworth Boulevard was closed Friday in Arvada between 64th and 62nd avenues, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation alert.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result mentions a crash closing southbound lanes of Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada, it does not specifically confirm the closure between 64th and 62nd avenues on a 'Friday' as a CDOT alert. Other results are irrelevant or generic CDOT posts. Only one relevant news snippet exists, which is insufficient for corroboration.
