COLORADO STATE PATROL TROOPER STRUCK BY CAR WHILE INVESTIGATING CRASH ON I-270

(ADAMS COUNTY, COLO)  

This morning at approximately 3:45 a.m., the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) was working a crash on I-270 MP1 in Adams County when a driver struck an unoccupied CSP vehicle. At the time, the trooper was outside of the vehicle and uninjured. 

Shortly after, a second vehicle entered the crash scene and struck a second unoccupied CSP vehicle. When the second vehicle was struck, it forced a trooper over a bridge barrier and down an embankment approximately 30 feet. 

The trooper was transported to an area hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Both drivers who entered the original crash scene and struck two CSP vehicles are suspected to be impaired.

CSP will investigate the crash, and Public Affairs will release information to the media.

I-270 EB at MP1 (Commerce City) is CLOSED from I-76 SB due to the crash investigation.
