LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — A pedestrian was hit and killed by a driver on Interstate 25 in Larimer County early Monday morning, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) reported.
Sgt. Patrick Rice, public information officer with CSP, said they received the call at 4:15 a.m. They learned that the driver of a Chevy Silverado was headed northbound on I-25 when they struck a pedestrian at E. Prospect Road. The pedestrian died at the scene.
If you're headed this way, expect to exit northbound I-25 at Prospect Road while authorities investigate the crash. Colorado Highway 68 to exit 268 (Fort Collins) is closed northbound.
