After an investigation, it was determined that a Toyota Prius was stopped at the westbound stop sign on Drennan Road to make a left turn to travel south on Marksheffel Road. When the Prius began the left turn, it was struck by a northbound Ford pick-up truck.

The driver of the Prius died on scene while the driver of the pick-up truck was uninjured. No impairment of either driver is suspected.

A crisis response team was available Thursday for staff and students at Widefield High School, and no word on any services at this time.
