Woman killed in Ute Highway crash

Longmont Times-Call

A woman was killed in a two-car crash on Colo. Highway 66 near 61st Street, west of McCall Lake, on Friday night, the Colorado State Patrol said.

Trooper Gilbert Mares did not release the woman’s name, age or hometown on Friday.

She was the passenger in a Subaru that had been going east on Colo. 66. The car swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with a pickup truck carrying a camper at about 7:55 p.m. The Subaru hit the truck more in a broadside manner than head-on, Mares said.

The driver of the Subaru was taken by helicopter to St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver with serious injuries, Mares said. Because his name was not available, no further information could be obtained from the hospital.
