Witnesses: Runaway semi-truck causes 13-vehicle crash at Hampden bypass and Clarkson

Police are investigating whether a medical condition caused a semi-truck driver to careen through a Cherry Hills Village intersection, causing a 13-vehicle crash that injured four people on Monday afternoon.

A semi truck was hauling a long flatbed trailer westbound on Highway 285/Hampden bypass when the driver failed to stop at South Clarkson Street, possibly because of a medical condition. The semi plowed into the back of cars that were parked at the intersection, and went on to knock over a power pole. Four people were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The semi-truck is from Winslow Crane Service Co., based in Englewood.
