“Anytime there is a serious collision where the CRASH Team responds, there are multiple investigative steps and processes that investigators must take to determine what exactly led up to the collision, and to properly document it. Our city streets continue to be busy during these summer months with a variety of roadway users and we encourage everyone to be extra attentive when travelling on them,” said Sergeant Mike Avrech who oversees the Fort Collins Police CRASH Team.

This investigation is still in the early stages and ongoing. Anyone with information who has not already spoken to police is asked to call Officer Brandon Barnes at (970) 221-6842.
