The plow continued westbound and struck a sprinter van carrying a hockey team from California that was traveling in the eastbound lanes, resulting in the sprinter van going down an embankment. Initial reports indicated the driver of the sprinter van was declared dead at the scene. The Colorado State Patrol Victim’s Advocate team has been deployed to support all passengers in the sprinter van. The Colorado State Patrol Vehicular Crimes Unit is investigating this crash, and plans to release further information as it becomes available.
