(KIT CARSON COUNTY, Colo.) — The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) said a 17-year-old was killed in a crash that happened on Wednesday, Nov. 5, in eastern Colorado.

On Wednesday at around 11:40 a.m., CSP responded to a fatal crash on Highway 385 about 1.5 miles north of Burlington. When troopers arrived, they determined a 2001 Ford Focus, with five teen boys, was stopped on northbound Hwy 385 waiting to make a left turn at the intersection of Kit Carson County Road X. A 2018 Jeep, driven by a 21-year-old, was traveling north when it rear-ended the Ford, sending both vehicles off the road and into a nearby field.

CSP said a 17-year-old passenger who was sitting in the backseat of the Ford was pronounced dead at the scene. The two other teenagers, a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old, were airlifted to a Denver hospital. The driver of the Ford was taken to a local hospital by ambulance, and a fifth passenger, an 18-year-old, was taken to a hospital in Burlington with minor injuries.

The driver of the Jeep sustained minor to moderate injuries; she was taken to the hospital by ambulance and has since been released.

According to CSP, Hwy 385 was closed for several hours while troopers investigated and reopened at 4:41 p.m.
