Several first responders were on the scene of the crash that involved a Jeep and Ford Escape. Investigators with the Colorado State Patrol confirmed to CBS News Colorado that the Jeep was traveling on Potomac and disregarded a traffic control device entering the intersection. That’s when the Jeep’s front end struck the side of the Ford.
The driver and passenger were ejected from the Jeep and rushed to the hospital for potential critical injuries. The driver, passenger and two children in the Ford were rushed to the hospital with unknown injuries.
