An elderly scooter victim sustained multiple compound fractures when she was stuck by an elderly person driving a car in Colorado Springs.  The scooter victim was taken to Memorial Hospital for treatment.

On 05-16-10 at approximately 3:45am, the Colorado Springs Police Department received a call reporting that a car carrier semi truck had rolled over off the west side of southbound I-25, south of Cimarron Street. Investigation revealed that the semi had 10 cars on the carrier at the time of the incident.

Speed and alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash. The driver of the semi sustained minor injuries but was treated and released on scene.

Southbound I-25 was closed to one lane for several hours during the investigation.

The driver was cited for Careless Driving and released.

This is an update posting to a story presented yesterday – the driver of the car that crashed into the stopped truck and then rolled over has died. Police report that DUI was not a factor but that the deceased drive may have been talking on his cellular telephone and failed to see the stopped truck.

It is never wise to drive and talk on a cellular phone at the same time.
