On December 6th, 2024 at 12:30 West Metro Fire Rescue responded to a single-vehicle accident east bound C-470 just east of Bowles Ave. Upon arrival, first responders located a pickup truck with a large trailer in tow, that had left the right-side of the roadway, hit the side guard rail and finally resting at the bottom of a small drainage raven. The pickup truck and trailer received extensive damage, as well as the full-sized SUV that was being transported inside the trailer. According to a Colorado State Patrolman, the driver may have fallen asleep and left the roadway. It is also believed that the trailer went air-born for quite a distance, as several tree branches were freshly broken. The single occupant received no injuries and no obstructions were observed on the roadway, therefore all fire and medical teams were released from the scene at 12:41. Two Colorado State Patrol officers and one Jeffco Sheriff officer secured the scene and remained on scene, until safety warning cones were set in place. Later in the morning, two large tow trucks were dispatched from Arvada to extract the vehicle and trailer, while a Colorado State Patrol officer secured the scene. Additional information was provided by Colorado State Patrol and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office

Units on Scene: District 3, SAM 2, Engine 11, Engine 12, Medic 12, Engine 13 & Rescue 10
