A 3 car accident on eastbound U.S. 36 on January 22 near Davidson Mesa has left one Boulder man dead. Kenneth Oswandel, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene after he apparently lost control of his Jeep after striking a Subaru while both vehicles were headed east in the right lane of U.S. 36.

The highway was initially shut down in both directions. Westbound 36 reopened after about an hour, while the eastbound were shut down for over 5 hours.

Investigators believe that Oswandel began to lose control of his Jeep after colliding with a Subaru station wagon. As his vehicle began to roll, Oswandel was ejected. 

The Subaru involved in the accident slid into a median, and was then struck by a second vehicle, also a Jeep. The drivers of both the Subaru and the second Jeep were not injured. There were no passengers in any of the 3 vehicles. 

An investigation is underway by the Boulder County Coroner to determine an official cause of death.
