One person was killed in a four-vehicle crash on icy roads in a Teller County town early Monday morning, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The crash happened at 5:44 a.m. on U.S. 24 in Florissant when a Dodge Ram driving west slid into the eastbound lanes and hit a Hyundai Elantra head-on, state patrol officials said in a news release.
A Jeep Gladiator driving eastbound then slid and rear-ended the Hyundai, and a Ford F250 heading eastbound hit the back of the Jeep, sending the Ford off the eastbound shoulder and hitting the Hyundai.
The driver of the Hyundai was airlifted to the hospital and pronounced dead, and the driver of the Dodge was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
U.S. 24 was closed for approximately three hours after the crash, the state patrol said.
The crash is under investigation, and anyone who witnessed the crash and has not spoken to investigators can call the Colorado State Patrol dispatch at 719-544-2424.
