No one was transported to the hospital Thursday, May 15, following a crash on Swan Mountain Road, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
But the crash between a Ford Taurus and a Toyota Tacoma around 1:35 p.m. closed the road for about an hour and resulted in the State Patrol issuing a citation for driving 20 mph over the speed limit to the driver of the Ford, Trooper Sherri Mendez said.
One person complained of injury but was not transported to the hospital, Mendez said. The crash occurred near Mile Post 4 and the road reopened around 2:50 p.m, she said.
