Child Dies in Multi-Vehicle Accident
 

GREELEY, Colo. — On Monday, December 29, at approximately 2:15 p.m., Greeley Police officers responded to a multi-vehicle accident at the intersection of Highway 85 and 22nd Street.
 

Initial investigation indicates a Ford Focus driven by a 24-year-old woman was traveling northbound on Highway 85 when the driver attempted to make a left (westbound) turn onto 22nd Street. The vehicle was struck on the passenger side by a southbound Tesla driven by a 51-year-old woman. The force of the collision caused both vehicles to spin into a semi that was stopped at the intersection.

First responders initiated life-saving measures on a five-year-old passenger in the Focus, who was then transported to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Denver in critical condition. She later died from her injuries. Her name will be released by the Weld County Coroner’s Office. The driver of the Focus sustained minor injuries. Neither the driver of the Tesla or the 55-year old semi driver were injured.

The crash remains under investigation. We are asking anyone with information on this case to contact Officer Doug Medhurst at doug.medhurst@greeleypd.com.

No further details will be released today.
