Cops say alcohol a factor in rollover

THE GAZETTE

Police say two 18-yearold men had been drinking at a party before the vehicle they were riding in rolled early Saturday, killing one and critically injuring the other.

 

The passenger, Evan Kinnan, died in the one-car crash on Woodmen Road, police said.

 

The driver, Craig Milos, suffered severe head injuries and was listed in critical condition at Penrose main hospital.

 

"Alcohol is definitely involved - there is no maybe," said police Lt. Patricia Feese.

 

They were traveling east on Woodmen Road about 1:30 a.m. when Milos lost control, police said.

 

The pair were ejected. Neither was wearing a seatbelt.

 

Investigators are still looking into how the teenagers obtained the alcohol at a party in the Peregrine neighborhood, in northwest Colorado Springs, Feese said.
