Tragedy struck the town of Thornton in October when a fiery crash claimed the lives of four people. The driver responsible for the accident has also passed away from his injuries, marking the end of the criminal investigation, according to police officials who made the announcement on Wednesday.

It was around 7:30 p.m. on October 26 when a Ford SUV, carrying two adults and two children, was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Washington Street and Thornton Parkway. Suddenly, a speeding Subaru sedan traveling northbound on Washington crashed into the back of the SUV, causing the gas tank to rupture and catching the SUV on fire.

This horrific incident, which made headlines across the country, has now come to a tragic end. The Subaru driver, who sustained serious injuries in the crash, was taken to the hospital for treatment. However, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, he passed away on November 7, as confirmed by Thornton police in a recent news release. Due to his death, criminal charges cannot be pursued and the case is now considered closed.

As the community mourns the loss of four innocent lives, the Adams and Broomfield County Coroner's Office has not yet released the names of the victims or the Subaru driver. However, family members have identified the four individuals in the SUV as Francisco Díaz and Beatriz Núñez, along with their daughters Paola, 15, and Nataly, 10, as reported by Denver7. They leave behind their two sons, Adam and Daniel, who are struggling to come to terms with the tragic loss of their beloved parents and sisters.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the devastating impact of reckless driving. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims during this difficult time. Let us all come together as a community to support and comfort one another during this time of grief.
