What the National Weather Service wrote

A mudslide occurred as a result of heavy rains across Colorado Highway 550 near Ironton (mile marker 85). The mudslide covered both directions of the highway.

The wider storm

Abundant monsoon moisture remained in place across the Western Slope. As a result, another round of widespread showers and thunderstorms developed across the area with many storms producing heavy rain. This led to localized flash flooding and debris flows across portions of Mesa, Ouray and Gunnison counties.

Began near Red Mtn (37.9400, -107.6720).
