TIME: 7:45 A.M.
LOCATION: Northbound I-25 at 58th Ave.
On 8-9-08 at approximately 1:32 A.M. Troopers responded to the northbound
I-25 off ramp at the intersection of 58th Ave.

A blue 2004 Subaru Impreza was traveling northbound on the ramp from I-25 to 58th avenue at a high rate of speed. The vehicle struck a raised island on the southeast side of the intersection and became airborne for a short distance. The vehicle then struck the raised center median that separated the east and westbound lanes of 58th avenue just east of I-25 and became airborne again for a short distance. The vehicle then struck the concrete barrier/ wall on the north side of 58th avenue and became airborne, traveling over the barrier. The Subaru rolled while it was in the air, while partially in contact with the top of the barrier and then struck a highway sign. The vehicle then made impact with the ground north of 58th avenue and stuck a wood fence while rolling and came to rest on its top just north of the wood fence facing in an easterly manner.
