Tragedy struck on Friday afternoon in Douglas County as one person lost their life in a head-on collision with a semitrailer. The Colorado State Patrol reported the incident, which occurred at the intersection of Colorado 83 and Arfsten Road. This news was met with shock and sadness, as the community mourned the loss of a fellow member.
The details of the accident are heartbreaking. The driver of a Toyota SUV attempted to pass traffic by crossing the double-yellow lines on the highway. This reckless decision resulted in a deadly collision with the semitrailer, ultimately claiming the life of the Toyota driver. The CSP released a statement explaining that the highway was a two-lane road with no passing allowed at the location of the crash. It is unclear why the driver of the SUV made this dangerous maneuver.
The CSP responded to the scene of the accident around 3:50 p.m., and the highway remained closed until 8:20 p.m. as they worked to investigate and clear the area. Thankfully, the driver of the semitrailer was not injured in the crash. The CSP did not release any information about the identity of the Toyota driver, as they are waiting for the Douglas County Coroner to confirm and notify the family. It is believed that the driver was alone in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
The community is still reeling from this devastating news, and many are sending their condolences to the family and friends of the victim. It serves as a reminder to always practice safe and responsible driving, as one wrong move can have tragic consequences. The CSP urges drivers to follow traffic laws and to be mindful of their surroundings to prevent accidents like this from happening in the future. Our thoughts are with those affected by this terrible loss.
