DENVER (KDVR) — A South Carolina man drove a Kia Telluride up Black Bear Road on Wednesday and got stuck, leading to a closure of the pass.

The San Miguel County Sheriff's Office said that until a tow can make it into the area, the roadway will remain closed because the car is unstable and it is not safe to be driven around.

Black Bear Road is a well-known roadway that closes each winter due to the weather and is used as an overlanding trail for Jeep and other off-roading enthusiasts. The roadway starts at the summit of Red Mountain Pass on Highway 550 and peaks at Black Bear Pass, which has an elevation of 12,840 feet, according to local tourist agencies. • A Kia Telluride is stuck on Black Bear Road near Bridal Veil Falls.
