Colorado Springs, CO (August 28, 2020) – A car crash reported in the Colorado Springs area on Friday afternoon claimed one man’s life and left a second person injured. At approximately 1:50 p.m., on August 28, the Colorado Springs Police Department responded to the scene of a crash on Palmer Park Boulevard.

Reports provided by the police show that a black sedan was traveling south on Murray Boulevard when it collided with a blue pickup truck, which was traveling east on Palmer Parker Boulevard. The impact of the crash caused the pickup truck to roll over and partially eject the driver. The sedan was pushed into a nearby home. The driver of the pickup was critically injured in the accident. He was rushed to an area hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the sedan was treated for minor injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident.

Fatal Car Accidents in Colorado

Cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs are some of the most common methods of transportation throughout the entire country. Motor vehicles have made many advances since they became widely available in our country. Though there have been endless measures taken to incorporate and improve safety features in vehicles, there is no way to guarantee the safety of vehicle occupants involved in collisions. We continue to see people lose their lives from collisions at an alarming rate.

Every year, more than 40,000 people lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents across the United States. We see our fair share of fatal accidents here in Colorado.
