COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Two people are dead and two others are injured following a crash along Marksheffel Road, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).

It happened around 1:30 p.m. on Monday south of East Gate Road, which is located south east of Peterson Space Force Base.

According to a preliminary investigation from CSPD, a Toyota sedan that was traveling southbound on Marksheffel Road failed to negotiate a slight curve and drove into the northbound lane.

At that time, CSPD says the car hit a Chevy sedan that was traveling northbound.

The two people who were in the Toyota were pronounced dead at the scene, according to CSPD. Their names will be released at a later time by the El Paso County Coroner's Office.
