Two adults have died and at least one child has been airlifted for medical treatment after a vehicle carrying five people rolled off a Colorado road in mountainous terrain Tuesday evening, officials said.
According to initial reports, the vehicle went about 200 to 300 feet off a cliff in Larimer County, Colorado State Patrol Master Trooper Gary Cutler said.
Two adults, both of whom died, and three children were in the vehicle, Cutler said. One of the children was flown by helicopter to a hospital, he said.
The rollover accident happened around 8:30 p.m. in the Pingree Park Road area, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The area was described as difficult terrain and some details remained unclear late Tuesday. Cutler wasn’t sure if the two other kids had any injuries.
Officials expected to release more information Wednesday morning as more is known, he said.
Larimer County Emergency Services and Larimer County Search and Rescue Inc. were among the agencies that responded to the incident.
What happened and the cause remained under investigation late Tuesday, officials said.
