One person has died and four others were hurt in a fast car crash on U.S. 287.

Unfortunately, a tragic accident has occurred on U.S. 287, just south of Oxford Road, resulting in the closure of the road. As stated in a post on Mountain View Fire Rescue's Facebook page, one individual has lost their life in the crash and four others have been rushed to the hospital for treatment. The fire rescue team's spokesperson, Rick Tillery, has informed us that two individuals at the scene have refused medical assistance.

In other news, there have been multiple fatal incidents recently that have raised concerns about public safety. In Morgan County, two toddlers and two adults lost their lives in a collision between an off-road vehicle and a truck. Additionally, a driver has been arrested for a hit-and-run incident at Colfax and Speer, as reported by police. Denver has also taken action to address the issue of traffic deaths by implementing measures to slow down speeding drivers on two major streets. And in Glenwood Springs, eastbound I-70 has just reopened after a crash, causing major delays for commuters.

The accident on U.S. 287 was reported to emergency services at 1:14 p.m. According to Tillery, it involved five vehicles and was a high-speed head-on collision. The Colorado State Patrol and Boulder County Sheriff's Office are currently investigating the cause of the crash, while the Erie Police Department is present to assist with traffic control.

It is likely that U.S. 287 will remain closed in both directions for an extended period of time as authorities conduct their investigation and clean up the scene. Mountain View Fire Rescue's post advises drivers to seek alternative routes until the road is reopened.
