The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies are looking into possible child abuse in connection with the incident that occurred Sunday night on Colorado 207 near Manzanola, but no charges have been filed in the case.
Authorities say a passer-by reported the crash and emergency responders subsequently rescued two girls, aged 8 and 10, and took them to the hospital. Authorities say their mother, whose name hasn’t been released, was found outside the vehicle and also was taken to a hospital. All three were expected to survive.
Manzanola is about 50 miles east of Pueblo.
