Patrol Car Pile-Up on I-25 | Colorado Springs News

A wild four-vehicle crash on I-25 early Saturday morning sent shockwaves through the highway—two of the cars were Colorado State Patrol vehicles. A Ford F-150 slammed into one patrol car, which then plowed into a stopped Mazda, crushing its hood and windshield under the truck’s tires. The collision shut down all southbound lanes for hours, forcing drivers to detour via shoulder ramps. Two teens from Colorado Springs—the driver and passenger in the Mazda—were injured; no one else was hurt, including a juvenile in the pulled-over car. The patrol vehicle was on duty for a special event, without a K-9 unit. Authorities are now investigating whether alcohol played a role—a sobering reminder of how fast chaos can erupt, especially when law enforcement is on the line.
