Narrative

FRUITA, CO – Five juveniles were hospitalized, and a 15-year-old teenage boy was left dead after a single-vehicle crash on the westbound lanes of K Road around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The vehicle was reported stolen. It appears the driver, the 15-year-old teenager, was traveling at a high rate when the vehicle drifted. The car then went airborne, and three passengers – minors – were thrown from the automobile. The vehicle crashed into an embankment and overturned. The five passengers were seriously hurt, and the 15-year-old teenager died from his injuries. Impairment was not suspected of playing a role in Wednesday’s deadly crash.
