[11-26-25] 5 Killed, 2 Airlifted Following Crash

DENVER (KDVR) — Portions of Highway 83 and Highway 86 were closed Monday night due to two separate “complex motor vehicle crashes” on Monday evening, according to a social media post from the Fire Protection District.

The Colorado State Patrol provided an update on Monday night that a three-vehicle crash killed five people, with two others being airlifted to a hospital. On Tuesday morning, CSP said the third vehicle was not actually damaged and had stopped just before the crash scene.

The crash involved a black Toyota hatchback, a tan Ford sedan.

CSP said that the Toyota was traveling southbound on Highway 83 when the driver lost control of the vehicle and went off the right shoulder of the road. The vehicle then returned to the road, rolling into the northbound lane and ejecting the driver.

The Ford sedan was traveling northbound when the Toyota hit it head-on.

The Toyota continued traveling southbound in the northbound lanes and struck the Ford pickup, causing minor damage, and the driver received no injuries.

Investigators said that the driver of the Toyota was pronounced dead at the scene after being ejected from the rolling vehicle.

The Ford sedan that was hit head-on was occupied by one adult and five juveniles, all of whom were from Colorado Springs. The driver, an adult man, and three of the juveniles were killed in the crash. The other two juveniles were airlifted to a nearby hospital with no reports on their conditions.

The crash took place around 4:33 p.m. near Highway 83 and South Russellville Road.

The Douglas County Coroner will release the identities of those killed in the crash after the next of kin have been notified.

The Colorado State Patrol’s Vehicular Crimes Unit is leading the investigation and has yet to determine what might have caused the crash.

CAR ACCIDENT STATISTICS

Car accidents happen all too often in the United States. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, the number of traffic deaths nationwide surged in the first nine months of 2021 to 31,720. The number was 12 percent higher than the same period in 2020 and the highest nine-month figure since 2006.

The bustling streets of Denver are a hotbed for possible car accidents. Arterials such as Colfax Avenue and Federal Boulevard are some of the deadliest roads in Denver and unfortunately provide many opportunities for potentially serious car accidents.

Following the nationwide trend, Denver car accidents have also been on the rise. According to an analysis from Denverite, traffic fatalities had reached an all-time high in 2021 with 84 people dying in traffic crashes last year. This had surpassed Denver’s 2019 record of 71 people. One of the ways the city is trying to cope with these figures is by reducing the speed limit in residential areas from 25 to 20 MPH. This so-called “20 is plenty” ordinance has been lauded by safer streets activist groups such as The Denver Streets Partnership who see this as the right direction. With only 20% of total traffic accidents happening on roads with speed limits of 25 MPH or less, time will tell if this ordinance will have the desired effect.

There are many different types of car accidents, but multi-vehicle accidents are one of them. When two or more cars come together, accidents like this happen all the time. You have a good chance that three vehicles will be hit when two vehicles hit each other.

A variety of factors caused these collisions. Distracted driving, speeding, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, driving in bad weather, driving the wrong way, and failing to obey traffic laws are examples of dangerous behaviors.
