A pickup truck driver arrived to try and tow the car out, but was blocking the southbound lane on the highway, said Sgt. Dave Allmon of the Cortez Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>Then, a southbound passenger car was unable to avoid the pickup and crashed into it, pushing the pickup into the back of the Mustang, and hitting a man standing between the two pickup and Mustang. He was transported to Southwest Memorial Hospital, Allmon said. His condition was not available.<\/p>\n<p>After hitting the pickup, the southbound car spun out across the roadway and came to a rest on the east-side shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>The pickup driver was given a summons for blocking the lane, Allmon said. He emphasized that the Mustang and pickup driver should have contacted a professional tow truck to handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The driver of the passenger car that crashed into the pickup was cited for having no license.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic was delayed for about a half-hour while first responders attended to crash victims and removed vehicles off the roadway. Southbound traffic was diverted onto a frontage road.<\/p>\n<p>The Cortez Police Department, Southwest Health System Ambulance, Cortez Fire Protection District and Colorado Department of Transportation responded to the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a problem for drivers on New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Eve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5736,5735],"tags":[21,701,13,414],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-96380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","category-news","tag-cortez","tag-disasters-and-crashes","tag-frontpage-lead","tag-weather"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96380"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=96380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
