Wrongful death suit possible in head-on Colorado crash

On behalf of Patricia M. Jarzobski, P.C. posted in Wrongful Death on Tuesday, September 10, 2019.

Two people lost their lives during the evening of Aug. 30, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The accident reportedly occurred on state Highway 9 and involved two vehicles. One woman has been taken into custody for alleged drunk driving in this case, and the families of the deceased may be considering filing wrongful death lawsuits in addition to the criminal charges. 

Reportedly, a vehicle headed southbound crossed over the line into the northbound lanes. The southbound driver had been witnessed driving erratically, with one witness saying the driver was "swerving all over the road" just prior to the crash. It appears the driver of the southbound vehicle swerved onto the shoulder before overcorrecting into the northbound lanes.

A popular street festival was the site of near tragedy on the night of Sept. 1, according to local sources. The Denver festival, A Taste of Colorado, was disrupted by a vehicle driving through a barrier and injuring a pedestrian. As with all car accidents of this type, this one is still under investigation and charges could be pending against the driver. 

Information was limited at the time of an early news report, with officers still on the scene. It has been confirmed that around 9 p.m. an unknown person drove a vehicle through a barrier set up to secure the outdoor festival. It appears the driver was attempting to circumvent the barrier when the vehicle involved struck a pedestrian, who has also not been publicly named by police. That individual suffered a leg injury of unknown severity.

A single-car accident in Pueblo resulted in the death of the driver, according to local sources. The Colorado Department of Transportation has confirmed the crash occurred around 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 23.

The details of the crash are incomplete, but it was enough to close northbound lanes altogether from 7:30 through to 10:30 that night to facilitate the forensic investigation. The drive was killed in the crash, but was not immediately identified pending notification of next-of-kin.

One woman is dead and a 21-year-old man is in custody following a motor vehicle accident.
