One person was killed early Sunday in a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 25, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The incident took place near Fort Carson at about 6:25 a.m. in the southbound lanes of the interstate, where a Dodge pickup truck was parked on the shoulder with its hazard lights on, officials said. The driver was outside, standing in front of his vehicle, when a southbound truck — with a trailer attached — lost control and hit the Dodge pickup, pushing it into its owner.
The injured man was taken to UCHealth Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the State Patrol said.
The southbound lanes of the interstate, at Exit 132, were closed for more than five hours as investigators collected evidence and recovered the vehicles. The State Patrol’s vehicular crimes unit is investigating the crash.
