BRECKENRIDGE, CO : Breckenridge woman pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in fatal Highway 9 crash on Tuesday, 28th April, 2020

Lindsey Leigh Ward, the woman responsible for causing a fatal crash on Colorado Highway 9 while drunken driving last year, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide during a hearing at the Summit County Justice Center on Tuesday afternoon.

Ward appeared in custody for the hearing in person, along with attorneys and Chief Judge Mark Thompson, who donned a face mask throughout the proceedings as justice system officials continue to make adjustments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Others tuned into the meeting via the court’s virtual WebEx system to watch the disposition.

On Aug. 30, 2019, law enforcement agents with Colorado State Patrol and Summit County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a double rollover on Highway 9 just north of Blue River, according to police reports of the incident.
