One person was killed in a four-vehicle crash on icy roads in a Teller County town early Monday, according to the State Patrol.
The crash happened at 5:44 a.m. on U.S. 24 in Florissant when a Dodge Ram driving west slid into the eastbound lanes and hit a Hyundai Elantra head-on, State Patrol officials said in a news release.
A Jeep Gladiator driving east then slid and rear-ended the Hyundai, and a Ford F-250 heading east hit the back of the Jeep, sending the Ford off the eastbound shoulder and hitting the Hyundai.
The driver of the Hyundai was flown to a hospital and pronounced dead, and the driver of the Dodge was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
U.S. 24 was closed for approximately three hours after the crash, the State Patrol said.
The crash is under investigation. Anyone with information can call the State Patrol at 719-544-2424.
