Three people died and another is in critical condition after a one-car crash Sunday on I-25 south of Fountain, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
A dark green sedan was traveling southbound and drifted off the left side of the highway into the center median and struck a guardrail before rolling over. This occurred about 6:50 AM, according to the State Patrol.
The driver, a 23 year-old woman from Pueblo, wasn't wearing a seat belt and was pinned under the vehicle. She was taken to Memorial Central Hospital with moderate to serious injuries.
The two male and one female passengers, were also unrestrained and thrown from the vehicle when it overturned. "All three passengers sustained fatal injuries from their ejection. The vehicle came to rest facing west in the center median against a concrete drainage culvert on it's top," according to a State Patrol release. This is another example of how fatalities may occur when drivers and passengers are not wearing seat belts.
Additionally, only a moments inattention may cause a driver to slip onto the shoulder of the road, and cause the vehicle to roll over.
The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the accident.
