A man was killed and a woman and toddler were injured in a single-vehicle crash on westbound C-470 in Jefferson County on Tuesday morning, the Colorado State Patrol said.
The crash happened at 9:19 a.m. when a red Toyota SUV headed westbound on the bridge over Ken Caryl Avenue drifted to the left, went off the road and hit a guardrail, state officials said in a news release.
The driver, a 31-year-old man, and a 30-year-old woman and a 3-year-old child were taken to the hospital after crash, and the man was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the state patrol. The woman sustained serious injuries in the crash and the toddler had minor injuries. All three are believed to be from New Mexico.
Westbound C-470 was closed at the West Ken Caryl Avenue exit for two hours after the crash and reopened as of 11:30 a.m.
The man's name will be released by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office, and the state patrol's vehicular crimes unit is investigating the crash.
