Medical Condition May Have Played Role In Accident
A head-on collision on Highway 93 near the intersection with I-70 has left 5 injured, with one suffering from life threatening injuries.
The incident happened at approximately 3:26 PM on June 6, 2013. A Lafayette man driving a silver 1997 Honda CRV apparently drifted on to the shoulder, then over corrected and ended up crossing the center yellow line and caused a head on crash with a 2011 Toyota Sienna, Colorado State Patrol Sgt Mike Baker indicated after the accident. Both driver's names have not yet been released.
The driver of the CRV was ejected from his vehicle after the car drifted down an embankment. Police are investigating whether a seat belt malfunction contributed to the ejection.
Police investigators are working to determine if a medical condition may have also affected the crash. Investigators also do not believe alcohol, drugs, or speeding were relevant to the incident.
The Toyota Sienna was driven by a 37-year-old woman from Missouri who's three children, along with her, were injured in the accident. The mother and her children were taken to Exempla Good Samaritan medical center. All suffered minor injuries except a 14-year-old boy, who sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.
