The multi-vehicle crash on State Highway 91 between Copper Mountain and Leadville on Tuesday, March 4, resulted in serious injuries to at least three people, including two Leadville residents, according to Colorado State Patrol.

Colorado State Patrol public information officer trooper Sherri Mendez said that eight vehicles, including one semitractor-trailer, were involved in the crash that occurred a little after 3 p.m Tuesday near mile marker 15, which is located near the Clinton Creek Lake not far from Mayflower Gulch.

An 80-year-old Leadville woman who was driving a Chevy Equinox is in “serious condition,” after the crash, Mendez said. A 44-year-old Leadville woman who was the passenger in a Ford Expedition suffered “serious injuries” in the crash, she said. State Patrol on Wednesday, March 5, could not provide information on the injury status of the driver of the Ford.

A 68-year-old Kansas man also suffered “serious injuries” in the crash, Mendez said. A 67-year-old Denver man driving another vehicle suffered “moderate injury.” A 28-year-old Denver man driving a semitractor-trailer also suffered “moderate injury,” but his passenger was uninjured, she said. Three other Leadville residents suffered “minor injuries” in the crash, according to Colorado State Patrol.

The crash closed Highway 91 in both directions for over an hour Tuesday. It occurred during severe weather with whiteout conditions and icy roads, Colorado State Patrol said in a news release. Multiple people were transported to hospitals to be treated for their injuries.
