LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — Colorado state officials revealed a rural highway known for wrecks was on their radar for safety improvements long before three members of the University of Wyoming swimming and diving team were killed and two others were injured.
Over the past 20 years, there have been nine major safety improvement projects along the Highway 287 corridor, including the addition of rumble strips and cable rail. But Fiel said that wasn't enough to stop an average of 62 crashes a year, which is why CDOT launched a major study stretching 30 miles from Ted's Place to the Colorado-Wyoming border.
"Having three , now we're looking at really bumping up that to the top of the priority list," said Fiel.
Carson Muir, 18; Charlie Clark, 19; and Luke Slabber, 21, were killed in the crash. The driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old man, and another occupant, identified as a 20-year-old man, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries but have since been released, CSP investigators said.CSP releases preliminary information in crash that killed 3 Wyoming students Óscar Contreras 1:33 PM, Feb 23, 2024 Fiel said safety officials have already pinpointed a possible improvement.
