On a typical Wednesday morning, a tragic rollover crash occurred on U.S. 36 at Lefthand Canyon Drive, leaving a family devastated. According to a news release from the Colorado State Patrol, two parents lost their lives in the accident while their two children sustained injuries.
The accident was caused by a Jeep that was traveling north on U.S. 36. For some reason, the vehicle veered off the road and drove through the grass median before rolling over and coming to a stop on the southbound lanes of the highway. It was a terrifying sight for anyone who witnessed it.
Sadly, it was confirmed that both adults, including the driver, passed away at the scene. The two children, aged 11 and 16, were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital to receive medical treatment for their moderate injuries. It was later revealed that these two injured children were the offspring of the deceased parents. However, their identities have not yet been released by the authorities.
As investigators continued to work on the scene throughout the afternoon, trying to piece together what had caused the tragic accident, the rest of the community mourned the loss of this family. Meanwhile, eastbound I-70 was reopened between Georgetown and Silverthorne after a 9-car crash and a pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run on I-70 near Elbert. To add to the list of unfortunate incidents, a suspected drunken driver hit and injured a police officer on I-270 and a separate crash on northbound I-225 in Aurora left one person dead and four others injured.
The icy conditions on U.S. 40 near Fraser also caused a spinout crash that ended in one fatality and four injuries. It is a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers of winter driving. As for the U.S. 36 rollover crash, the cause is still under investigation and details have not yet been determined. It serves as a tragic reminder to always stay vigilant and drive safely, as accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of those involved in this devastating incident.
