2 dead in Weld County crash

Two people died in Weld County on Tuesday evening after a vehicle drove off of the road.

The Colorado State Patrol responded to a crash on Weld County Road 33, south of Highway 392 and near Greeley, around 11 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from the department.

Preliminary investigations found that a 22-year-old woman from Kansas City was driving a Lincoln MKC southbound. The driver ran through a stop sign at Highway 392, went through the intersection and drove off of the side of Weld County Road 33.

The vehicle struck an embankment and a fence before going airborne, eventually crashing into a tree, according to the release.

The driver and a 19-year-old passenger were pronounced dead at the scene. Two juvenile passengers were transported to a nearby hospital with injuries — one with serious injuries and one with minor injuries — police said.

The crash is under investigation. The Weld County Coroner’s Office will identify the victims following investigations.
