PEYTON, Colo. (KOAA) — Colorado State Patrol (CSP) troopers were sent to a fatal crash around 11:00 a.m. on Saturday on North Peyton Highway, north of Pinon Road.
When troopers arrived, they found that a Nissan Pathfinder was traveling north on the highway when it failed to make a left turn.
As a result, the car went off the right side of the road and rolled.
The 16-year-old driver was ejected from the car. He was airlifted to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
CSP says that two 16-year-old girls and another 16-year-old boy were also transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Since the victims in the crash are minors, their identities will not be released.
