Two people were killed, and two others were seriously injured in a head-on collision along U.S. 160 in Costilla County.<\/p>\n
A Colorado State Patrol spokesperson said the collision occurred near mile marker 261 about 8:45 a.m. on Friday, June 12. Officials said passengers in separate vehicles, a 16-year-old boy from Mancos and a 64-year-old woman from Manzanola, both died on the scene.<\/p>\n
CSP officials said a 2005 Subaru, driven by another 16-year-old from Mancos, was traveling westbound when it crossed the centerline and struck a 2003 GMC pickup, driven by a 68-year-old man from Manzanola, which is east of Pueblo. Both drivers were seriously injured, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Weather conditions at the time of the accident weren\u2019t noted in a CSP report. Officials said no alcohol or drugs were suspected. No seat belt information was provided.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, The Cortez Journal learned that the 16-year-old killed in the accident was Tyler Allee-Jumbo. His twin brother, Casey Allee-Jumbo, was reported stable but remained in intensive care as of Monday.<\/p>\n
A small family burial for Tyler Allee-Jumbo was planned for Thursday morning, followed by a memorial at the Dolores Community Center starting at 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
The boys attended Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs, according to their Facebook pages.<\/p>\n
