2 area teens among four killed in crash east of Pueblo
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Two teenagers
from the Pikes Peak region were among four people who died Sunday in a fiery
head-on crash near the town of Wiley.
The local victims
are believed to be Cody Nummy, 19, of Peyton, and Sophia Robinson, 17, of
Colorado
Springs. Investigators are awaiting dental records to
confirm their identities, said Colorado State Patrol Trooper Dan
Brusuelas.
The crash
happened about 2:15 a.m. Sunday on Highway 287 near Wiley, a small town about
115 miles east of Pueblo.
According to
Brusuelas, the teens were headed south with Nummy behind the wheel and Robinson
in the passenger seat when the minivan swerved into an oncoming lane and slammed
into a Ford Focus carrying three occupants.
The minivan burst
into flames, trapping the teenagers. The driver of the Ford, Lori Ann Duncan,
31, of Fort Lewis, Wash., was killed along with an occupant, 18-year-old
Kimberly Young of Stillwell,
Okla.
Duncan's husband, Clayton Duncan, 32, is
being treated at Memorial
Hospital in Colorado Springs, Brusuelas
said. The man's condition wasn't immediately available, but Brusuelas said he
had been conscious and talking earlier today.
Nummy and his
passenger were headed to Lamar to visit his brother, Brusuelas said.
It's unclear what
caused the vehicle to swerve, but Brusuelas said that Nummy could have fallen
asleep and that toxicology tests are being done to determine if drug or alcohol
intoxication was a factor.
Clayton Duncan,
also of Fort Lewis, Wash., was returning from a trip to Stillwell, Okla., where he dropped off his two young
daughters at his mother's house for the summer and picked up Young, his
half-sister.
