COLORADO SPRINGS, CO : 2 crashes reported near Colorado Springs schools on Tuesday, 12th September 2023
Colorado Springs, Colorado
No serious injuries were reported after two cars collided right by a Northgate-area high school.
Police say one of the vehicles was trying to make a left turn at Thunder Mountain and Old Ranch Road, right by the entrance to Pine Creek High School, when it was hit by an oncoming car. One of the vehicles rolled over, ending up on its roof. Everyone in that car was able to get out on their own.
Police did not have information on the ages of the drivers, just that two students were in the car that flipped over. The driver of that vehicle was cited. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected.
The rollover was one of two crashes Tuesday morning reported near a school. A short time before the rollover, a child was hit by a car at Palmer Park and Potter Drive, down the street from Mitchell High School. They were transported to Children’s Hospital with unknown injuries, but a sergeant tells 11 News there is no indication the injuries were life-threatening. That crash also remains under investigation; police were not able to say at the time of this writing who was at fault or whether the driver was also under 18.
We will update this article if more information on either crash is released.
