The man accused of carjacking a vehicle from a Regional Transportation District station and crashing into a family of five had methamphetamines and alcohol in his system, according to an autopsy report.

Walter Huling, 31, was identified as the suspect in the Nov. 24 crash on Colorado Highway 83, south of Franktown, that left five people dead — including himself.

Huling had methamphetamine and a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .230 in his blood at the time of the crash, according to the Douglas County Coroner’s Office’s Nov. 26 autopsy report.

Huling’s BAC was nearly three times the legal limit.

The incident occurred around 4 p.m., when Huling allegedly carjacked a Toyota Matrix hatchback at the Nine Mile Station RTD parking garage.

Less than an hour later, the man lost control of the car on Colorado 83 near Russellville Road south of Franktown, crashing into a Ford Fusion sedan head-on, authorities said. The sedan carried one adult driver and five children.

Killed in the crash were Alvin Corado, 35, of Denver, who drove the Ford Fusion with four juveniles in it. The Douglas County Coroner confirmed the other victims as Toretto Corado, 8, Makenlee Corado, 11, and Jase Green, 12, all of Colorado Springs.

Two other juveniles were injured and are recovering.

Huling’s criminal history in Colorado stretches back to 2013, with 12 cases between 2013 and 2024, according to court records. These cases included assault, violation of a protection order and driving under the influence.

On June 17, 2019, Huling was charged with two counts of assault in Denver after attempting to grope a woman on the street near Union Station, according to arrest records.

The woman’s husband attempted to intervene when Huling “sucker punched” the man, knocking him unconscious to the curb, police said. The victim suffered a facial fracture from the fall.

When officers attempted to arrest Huling, he swung his elbows and attempted to flee. He was forced to the ground but continued to struggle, injuring an officer’s finger.

Huling pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, except for the charge of second-degree assault. He was sentenced to six years in prison on Nov. 21, 2019.

Five years later, Huling picked up a charge for violation of a protection order in Boulder on March 16, 2024. He eventually pleaded guilty on May 15, 2024.
