Authorities on Friday identified the two victims killed in a head-on crash Thursday on U.S. Highway 160, in the Cherry Creek area west of Hesperus.<\/p>\n
The crash occurred around 5:15 p.m. just east of the Montezuma-La Plata County line at mile marker 68 when a male driver in an SUV headed westbound toward Mancos hydroplaned into the eastbound lane, crashing into an SUV with a family of four.<\/p>\n
Colorado State Patrol Capt. Adrian Driscoll said the fatalities involved two of the occupants in the SUV with the family of four: Robert Streett, 52, and a 16-year-old male.<\/p>\n
Driscoll said Streett died at the scene of the crash. The 16-year-old male died at Mercy Regional Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Streett\u2019s wife, Joslyn, and a 14-year-old male, were transported to Mercy Regional Medical Center. Jann Smith, La Plata County Coroner, said Joslyn was airlifted to St. Anthony\u2019s Hospital in Denver on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Smith said Friday morning that Joslyn and the 14-year-old male are doing well.<\/p>\n
Driscoll said the family, driving a Honda Pilot, is from Sequim, Washington, about a two-hour drive northwest of Seattle.<\/p>\n
According to Driscoll, 36-year-old Anthony Rodriguez, of Mancos, was the driver of the Nissan Armada that was traveling eastbound when the vehicle hydroplaned after a sudden downpour of rain.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez was reported to be alert and talking to first-responders at the scene, Cpl. Lance Sanchez said Thursday. A spokesman with Mercy said Friday morning Rodriguez is listed in fair condition.<\/p>\n
Driscoll said the crash is under investigation and he could not comment at this time whether drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash. He did say charges are pending.<\/p>\n
The crash closed U.S. Highway 160 for about three hours.<\/p>\n
