COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Around 4:25 a.m. on Sunday, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) responded to a two-car crash at the intersection of S. Powers Blvd. at E. Fountain Blvd.

When first responders arrived at the scene, they found that two people from one car had been pronounced dead on scene.

Two other people from the same car were immediately transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the other car also sustained injuries and was transported to the hospital.

With the severity of the crash, the CSPD Major Crash Team responded and began an investigation.

After the initial investigation, CSPD believes that a black SUV was traveling north on Powers Blvd and tried to turn left onto westbound Fountain Blvd. A blue SUV was traveling south on Powers Blvd, and the two cars collided at the intersection.

The intersection was closed for several hours while police were investigating the incident.

The investigation is still ongoing, and no additional information has been released about those involved in the crash.
