A deadly rollover crash killed two males when one vehicle caught on fire early Saturday morning. Another male, all 25-years-old was ejected from the SUV and was sent to hospital where he is expected to recover. The crash occurred about 4:35 Saturday morning, northbound I-225 and westbound I-70 in Aurora, Colorado. Police believe the red 1999 Isuzu Trooper was driving northbound on I-225 and approaching the westbound I-70 ramp at a high speed. The vehicle lost control, went off the highway and began to roll over several times before coming to a stop. The SUV caught on fire with two of the 25-year-old passengers, who died before Firefighters were able to rescue them. Police suspect that alcohol and speeding may have been involved.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
