Greeley, CO : Several people, including a small child injured in a single-car traffic crash near Platteville on Tuesday, August 16, 2016

Police are investigating a single-car traffic crash that injured several people, including a small child.

Platteville Police Chief Michael Root said the crash happened about 6:25 a.m. Tuesday when a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica went off the west side of U.S. 85 into a retention pond. Root said he believed all six occupants of the Pacifica were injured, though he didn’t know for sure. He didn’t know how many were taken to the hospital. He said a small child was taken to Children’s Hospital in Denver. Others were taken to North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley.

Authorities closed one lane of southbound U.S. 85 Tuesday morning for about three hours while they worked to investigate the crash, he said, though traffic was still moving on the highway.

Root said he didn’t immediately know other details about he crash — such as the identities of those involved — because the crash remained under investigation.
