DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — Two people are dead and more are injured after a head-on crash in Douglas County Wednesday evening.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said four cars were involved in the crash, which happened just before 5:30 p.m. on Crowfoot Valley Road just north of Macanta Boulevard.
Deputies said one of the drivers was headed northbound on Crowfoot Valley Road when he crossed into the southbound lane and hit two cars. It's unclear how the fourth car was involved.
The driver and passenger of the car that crossed into oncoming traffic were both killed. They were identified as Adam Reihl, 34, and Michael Reed, 49, both of Parker.
Deputies said two or three other people were taken to the hospital with injuries. They could not say how serious those injuries were.
Deputies said while their investigation is still ongoing, they believe that "excessive speed and tire condition" were factors in the crash.
