2 Construction Workers Killed in Exit Ramp Crash
Colorado State Patrol has released the name of a 74 year-old man suspected of killing two road workers in an apparent case of careless driving.
Thomas Garrity, 74, of Bellevue, Nebraska, was cited for careless driving causing death as a result of the collision. The incident took place at the intersection of C-470 and Broadway.
The two victims, Joseph Schwartz, 47, and Jesus Villalobos, 27, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The two men were employed by Concrete Works of Colorado, a construction company that was hired to complete bridgework at the Broadway overpass at C-470.
Investigators examined Garrity's vehicle to determine if there were any faulty components such as brakes or the accelerator. The inspection is part of a protocol followed by investigators for any fatal car accident.
Garrity apparently lost control of his 2007 Subaru Tribeca while exiting C-470 towards the Broadway onramp. The vehicle went up and over a hillside and down the other side, striking the two men as they stood near the road.
After colliding with the two construction workers, the Tribeca also struck a Honda Pilot. The driver of the Honda was not injured, but Garrity and his 72 year-old female passenger were transported to a local hospital where they were treated for moderate injuries.
