Road Worker Killed In Crash On Highway 85

UPDATED: 4:24 pm MDT July 9, 2006

A road worker was killed in a car crash Saturday that occurred around 4:15 p.m. on Highway 85 in Sedalia in front of Sedalia Bar and Grill.

Colorado State Patrol said 19-year-old Elizabeth Vogel, the driver of a Geo Metro, was traveling northbound on Highway 85 when the car crashed into a construction pickup truck as the Metro drifted into the median.

The momentum of the crash carried both vehicles into a coned construction zone where a road worker was walking. The worker, 27-year-old Christopher Naeve from Westminster, was hit in the crash as he was getting out of his truck in the construction zone.

Naeve was taken by ambulance to Littleton Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Vogel was transported to Sky Ridge Medical Center with minor injuries and was released. No other injuries were reported.

Investigators are investigating possible charges against Vogel. They said she may have fallen asleep while driving.
