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.
The investigating officer observed injuries that appeared severe — broken bones, deep lacerations, loss of consciousness, or other conditions requiring immediate hospital transport. The person could not walk, drive, or continue normal activities.
Serious injury crashes (KABCO "A") typically involve significant medical bills, surgery, and extended rehabilitation. FHWA estimates the comprehensive cost at ~$655,000 per serious-injury crash. These claims frequently involve attorney representation and litigation. Document all medical treatment thoroughly.
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).
The officer determined that speed — either exceeding the limit or driving too fast for conditions — was a contributing factor.
Speed-related crashes often involve higher injury severity due to increased force of impact. Speeding is a per se violation (point schedule: 1-4 mph over = 0 pts, 5-9 over = 1 pt, 10-19 over = 4 pts, 20-39 over = 6 pts, 40+ over = 12 pts and automatic suspension). Penalties are doubled in construction zones. Speed is both a contributing factor and an aggravating factor that can increase claim values.
