3 killed, 2 injured in crash on icy Larimer County highway near Wyoming state line
A two-vehicle crash killed three people and injured two others Saturday in Larimer County, the Colorado State Patrol said.
Officials said a Subaru Forester was on Highway 287 about 4:45 p.m. when it slid on ice and lost control. As the Subaru slid, it turned sideways and was T-boned by an oncoming Hyundai Elantra.
The collision happened near mile marker 376, nine miles south of the Wyoming state line.
All three occupants of the Subaru were killed: The 21-year-old male driver, an 18-year-old female passenger and a 19-year-old female passenger, CSP said.

A 21-year-old male passenger in the Hyundai suffered serious injuries and is hospitalized, CSP said. The 18-year-old female driver of the Hyundai suffered minor injuries.
U.S. 287 was closed for several hours Saturday in both directions at Owl Canyon Road, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. The highway has since reopened.
