The tramway road at Bonnie was shut down and reopened once the road was cleared, per the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"Once they were able to clear the people away and then the vehicles, snowplows were brought in to help with the road conditions," the sheriff's office said, noting that one of the cars involved was a sheriff's office vehicle.
