Narrative
A 55 year-old man passed away after being run over by an unknown number of vehicles at the Fountain Blvd. intersection during the early morning hours of Feb. 8th. At 5:30 a.m., Joseph Rector was crossing at Fountain Boulevard and Jet Wing Dr. when a few cars hit him. Authorities, including the Colorado Springs Police Department and the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, do not know the precise number of motorized vehicles that struck the man. It is known that Rector was crossing the intersection when the cars had a green light. It is not understood yet why Rector walked on the road when the pedestrian signal indicated walkers needed to wait. Most, if not all, of the drivers stopped at the scene and waited for the police after the accident. No charges have yet been announced, and an investigation is being conducted.
