A multi-car crash in Loveland has police and investigators scratching their heads as a result of the many conflicting stories surrounding the incident.
The string of crashes allegedly began when 73 year-old Louis Varn of Johnstown, driving a green Chevrolet pick-up truck, rear ended Fort Collins resident Jodi Barrett at East Eisenhower Blvd. and Denver Avenue. According to Barrett, the pick-up continued driving when she pulled over to exchange information.
Barrett then decided to follow the vehicle, and even confronted the driver at a stop light. Varn apparently denied hitting her vehicle and drove away, minutes later causing another multi-vehicle crash.
The four vehicle accident occurred at the Y intersection of Lincoln and U.S. 287. Varn allegedly ran a read light and rear ended a vehicle at in the right hand turn lane, pushing the vehicles into stopped traffic facing west at the intersection.
Varn apparently told police later that he did not rear-end Barrett's vehicle, but instead witnessed the rear ending and was also following the vehicle that caused the initial accident. Because Barrett's car did not have any ostensible damage, and because Varn's pick-up was damaged so heavily in the later accident, police did not have enough evidence to charge him for crimes in both accidents.
Varn was ultimately charged with reckless driving relating to the four-car crash. He was injured in the crash and transported to McKee Medical Center in Loveland and later released. No other injures were reported as a result of the crash.
