CBS Colorado reported that a passenger was seriously injured in the crash and taken to a hospital.
Colorado recorded 3,674 serious injuries from traffic crashes in 2022, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. In that statewide crash data, “serious injury” means an officer-coded “evident incapacitating” injury, rather than a medical diagnosis. The statewide count is not a passenger-specific count for this crash.
A Denver Vision Zero analysis of crashes reported from 2011 to 2015 said limits in the underlying data made it impossible to determine which person type—such as a driver or passenger—was injured in a given crash.
