FOUNTAIN, Colo. (KRDO) – One man is dead following a single-vehicle crash on northbound I-25 near the CanAm Highway exit, according to Colorado State Patrol.
Trooper Hunter Matthews with Colorado State Patrol (CSP) tells KRDO13 that a driver in a truck traveling northbound on I-25 rolled into the center median. The truck is described as having a “camper shell” and a small trailer attached.
CSP says the driver, an 85-year-old man from Arizona, lost control of his pickup truck. CSP says they believe he began to exit the roadway, overcorrected, and rolled the vehicle. The driver was pronounced dead on the scene.
State patrol says they do not believe speed or alcohol was a factor in the crash.
CSP says the driver was not wearing a seatbelt, and he was ejected from the pickup truck.
The crash caused major delays on both sides of I-25, but as of 10:40 a.m., both southbound lanes of the highway have reopened.
