Colorado Couple Suffers Injury in Vehicle Accident, Fire
A Colorado couple was injured in a car accident that set their vehicle on fire, but they survived thanks to their seat belts, according to a recent article in the New York Daily News. The pair was commended by the Avon Police Department for their decision to wear seat belts on that fateful day.
The accident occurred as the couple, a 24-year-old and a 26-year-old, was riding in their car near Interstate 70. As they passed under the freeway, a semi truck that had lost control on the road above smashed through the guardrail and fell over the side of the overpass, landing on the couple’s car. The pair was able to pull themselves free of the wreckage and move to safety, although the woman had a severe leg injury that left her temporarily unable to walk. Although both are still processing psychological trauma from the accident, they remain optimistic.
Loveland Boating Accident Claims the Lives of Two Fishermen
Two fishing buffs who headed out onto a Loveland pond for some late-night fishing recently lost their lives in a fatal CO boating accident, according to a recent article from My Windsor Now.
The two men, ages 68 and 37, were related as father- and son-in-law. They went fishing that evening along with a 12-year-old boy, who was grandson and son to the two men, respectively. At some point during the course of their evening, their boat overturned, sending all three fishers into the water. Rescue workers later recovered the bodies of the two adults from the pond, where they had drowned. The boy managed to make it to an island, where he was found by rescue workers and taken to a local hospital for treatment.
