Six people were hospitalized following a head-on collision early Friday morning on Colorado Highway 93 in Jefferson County. The Colorado State Patrol said troopers responded around 5:16 a.m. to the crash involving a Chevrolet Traverse and a Jeep Compass.
The crash forced authorities to shut down Highway 93 in both directions between Highway 72 and 64th Avenue.
State troopers said six people were taken to the hospital, including a driver and a passenger who suffered serious injuries.
Investigators told CBS Colorado they’re still unsure which vehicle the seriously injured individuals were in during the crash.
The affected stretch of the highway stayed closed for roughly two and a half hours before reopening.
The Colorado State Patrol is asking anyone who witnessed the crash to contact their dispatch center at 303-239-4501 and reference case number 1A251688. Callers should be ready to leave their name and contact information for a follow-up.
