Car Accident - HWY 257 & MM 8.212

Alcohol Involvement Reported

When alcohol is a factor, Colorado law may treat the impaired driver as negligent per se under C.R.S. Section 42-4-1301. This can significantly affect liability determinations.

Rear-End Collision Pattern

In Colorado, the trailing driver in a rear-end collision is often presumed to be at fault for following too closely, though this presumption can be rebutted with evidence.
