COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — A man who died following a crash along Constitution Avenue in Colorado Springs last month has been identified.
According to the El Paso County Coroner's Office, he was 64-year-old Peter "Pedro" Sanchez.
The crash happened around 8:30 p.m. on July 3 at the intersection of Constitution Avenue and Tutt Boulevard, which is located in the Cimarron Hills area.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), the crash involved three vehicles. Police say they learned a Nissan, driven by Sanchez, was going eat on Constitution Avenue and turning left to go north on Tutt Boulevard.
While turning left, police say Sanchez's car was hit by a Toyota going west on Constitution Avenue. According to police, this caused Sanchez's car to hit another vehicle.
On July 18, CSPD says they were notified that Sanchez passed away at the hospital.
This is the 30th traffic death in the city this year, according to CSPD. They say there have been 49 traffic deaths in Colorado Springs in the last 365 days.
