LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — Two adults are dead and three children were injured after a converted bus rolled off a road in a remote part of Larimer County Tuesday night.
A 1-year-old girl was airlifted to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to Master Trooper Gary Cutler with the Colorado State Patrol. A 3-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy were transported to the hospital by ground with moderate injuries, Cutler said.
The driver, identified as 47-year-old Miguel (Michael) Hernandez Guerrero, and a passenger, identified as 34-year-old Valerie Mireles, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, according to Cutler. Both were from Greeley.
Deputies said the crash happened at about 8:30 p.m. on Pingree Park Road, which is in the Poudre Canyon area south of Red Feather Lakes. The converted bus drifted off the road and rolled down a 400-foot embankment, ejecting all the occupants, Cutler said.
Poudre Fire Authority said the relationship between the five people on the bus was unclear as of Tuesday night.
Multiple agencies, including Larimer County Search and Rescue, responded to assist due to the challenging terrain, the sheriff's office said.
CSP does not believe that alcohol, speed or drugs were contributing factors in the crash.
