Multipe TA's in Weld couty along I-76

[montanadiesel]

There is much confusion going on, and having issues getting ambulance sevice for all of the injuries. Also heard medical helicopter landed on scene to one location. But there are issues with high winds, and could be the source of the TA's.

Trying to listen to the details here, but with multiple call out going on, trouble following the details here.

Also heard request for ambulance from Morgan county. But Morgan county later pulled that ambulance due to them also being low on coverage.

Looks to be driving issues on the I-76 corridor.

On November 30, 2008 at approximately 9:45 am, Colorado state troopers were dispatched to a rollover motor vehicle crash on I-76 near the town of Keenesberg, Colorado. The investigation revealed that a 1997 Infiniti SUV was traveling westbound on I-76 when the driver lost control. The vehicle entered the center median and rolled over, ejecting the rear seat passenger who was not seat belted.

The unrestrained passenger was transported via ambulance to Platte Valley Medical Center with serious injuries. He has been identified as 39 year old Abdirahman Abdille and is from the Ft. Morgan area.

A front seat passenger, Abdinisir Hussein was seat belted in the vehicle and sustained no injuries. Hussein, age 30, is also from the Ft. Morgan area.

The driver, Abdalle Hassan age 24, sustained serious injuries and was also taken via ambulance to Platte Valley Medical Center. Hassan has been charged with careless driving causing injuries. It is believed that Hassan is from the Ft. Morgan area as well.

The leading contributing factor in this crash was the driver traveling too fast for the road conditions. The road conditions at the time were described as wet and icy.

The Colorado State Patrol would like to remind motorists to slow down as they drive through inclement conditions along the front range and in the high country. As always, the State Patrol also reminds motorists to buckle up each and every time.
