Colorado Crash Report Details
CrashStory is loading the crash record, report summary, and linked next steps for this Colorado incident.
DISCLAIMER: This is a public record summary generated from Colorado crash data. This is NOT an official crash report. Personal identifying information has been redacted per CRS 42-4-1606. For the official report, contact the investigating agency. Data may be incomplete or subject to correction.
One vehicle struck the back of another. This is the most common collision type in Colorado.
In Colorado, the rear driver is generally presumed to be at fault for following too closely (4 points on license, Class A traffic infraction). The lead driver can share fault if they cut in front abruptly, had non-functioning brake lights, or were reversing. Colorado uses modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar (CRS 13-21-111) — you can recover damages only if your fault is less than 50%.
Someone at the scene complained of pain or showed momentary disorientation, but the officer could not confirm visible injuries. This person may have declined transport to a hospital.
Possible injury (KABCO "C") does not mean no injury occurred. Many serious conditions — concussions, internal bleeding, herniated discs — are not visible at the scene. Research shows officers may misclassify injury severity in a significant portion of reports. If you were classified as "possible injury," seek medical attention within 72 hours — your medical records can override the initial police classification.
The investigating officer determined that alcohol was a factor in this crash. At least one involved party showed signs of impairment or tested positive.
Alcohol involvement substantially strengthens liability against the impaired party and may support punitive damages. Colorado's BAC limit is 0.08% (DUI) or 0.05% (DWAI).
