Two of the three victims, motorcycle riders, were from the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office

A Colorado Springs driver has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of vehicular manslaughter after a fatal crash in Idaho Tuesday.

The Idaho State Police reported the crash happened about 4 p.m. Tuesday on U.S. 12, just east of Kooskia.

Three motorcyclists were killed after the driver of a 2019 Ford F-150 attempted to pass, crossing a double yellow line in a no passing zone, and collided head-on with the motorcycles, according to the state police.

“The 60-year-old female driver of the Ford, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation,” according to an ISP news release. “Following her release, she was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail.”

Neale Parrish Brewer, 60, was booked into the jail at 11:41 p.m. Tuesday, Idaho County Jail records show. She’s being held without bail and her next court date is June 25 for a preliminary hearing, where prosecutors present evidence to a judge to determine if the case should be sent to trial.

The Idaho County coroner confirmed the identities of the three victims of the crash as:

• Ethan Powers, 35, of Timnath.
• Jeremy Coleman, 45, of Berthoud.
• Nathan McCormick, 26, of Loveland.

Family confirmed McCormick is the son-in-law of Coleman.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday confirmed that two of their officers, a sergeant and a deputy, had died. But “out of respect for their families’ strong desire for privacy, we aren’t identifying the deputies at this time.”

They were vacationing together on a motorcycle trip, according to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office post on X.

“There are no good words in a situation like this,” according to the post. “Put simply, these were incredible people who dedicated their lives to making Larimer County better every single day. They trained hard, they served well, and they loved life. … Rest easy, brothers.”

The Colorado Fraternal Order of Police released a statement on its Facebook page: “Today, the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police joins our law enforcement family in mourning the heartbreaking loss of two dedicated members of the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office. “They were taken far too soon in a tragic off-duty motorcycle crash. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends, coworkers, and the members of FOP Lodge 4 as they face the difficult days ahead.”

The organization started a donation page to aid the victims’ families.
