A tragic car accident on Highway 93 at the intersection with Washington Avenue in Golden took the life of one woman on Saturday, according to Golden police. The northbound lanes of the highway were closed to allow investigators to examine the scene. The casualty was a female front passenger whose identity has not been disclosed pending notification of next of kin. As reported by KDVR, the crash occurred on Saturday evening and led to significant traffic disruptions.
The Colorado Department of Transportation and local authorities were forced to entirely shut down the aforementioned section of the highway to safely conduct their inquiries. The accident happened at around 4:49 p.m., and the woman was subsequently pronounced deceased at a local hospital. It remains unconfirmed whether the driver or anyone else was injured or if other vehicles were implicated. As CBS News Colorado reports, officials are still working to carefully determine the sequence of events that precipitated the tragic incident.
Police have thus far not offered a hypothesis on the crash's cause, nor have they given any insights into the number of vehicles involved. This information is crucial for piecing together the narrative of how the incident unfolded. No further injuries were reported about the crash according to Denver7, keeping the focus on the loss of the female passenger and the subsequent investigation.
