Greeley, CO (September 1, 2025) – A serious multi-vehicle crash late Sunday night in Greeley left four children injured, prompting a multi-agency response from Weld County Fire and EMS. The collision occurred around 10:06 p.m. on W A St and resulted in injuries to children ranging in age from 5 to 8 years old.
According to dispatch communications, medical crews were requested to evaluate all four pediatric patients at the scene. The children included two 7-year-olds, along with one 5-year-old and one 8-year-old, all of whom were reported to have sustained injuries in the crash. Their current medical status has not been officially released, but the presence of multiple EMS units and a second ambulance indicates the situation was treated as a multi-patient emergency.
Fire crews were also requested to manage hazardous fluids leaking from the vehicles involved, a common post-crash risk that requires immediate containment to prevent further danger.
The crash occurred in a residential corridor of Greeley, and several emergency units from University of Colorado Health (UCH) and local fire departments were dispatched to the area near the 4900 block of W A St. Authorities are actively investigating the cause of the crash, including how many vehicles were involved and whether speeding or failure to yield may have contributed.
Children Injured in Vehicle Accidents in Colorado
Accidents involving children are among the most emotionally and medically complex cases first responders face. Sunday night’s crash in Greeley, which injured four children under the age of 9, underscores the immense vulnerability of young passengers during multi-vehicle collisions.
Though child safety seats and restraints offer protection, children are still highly susceptible to whiplash, abdominal trauma, and emotional shock following a crash. Because children may have difficulty clearly communicating the extent of their pain or symptoms, EMS providers must conduct thorough and often precautionary evaluations at the scene and in the hospital.
The location of the crash—W A St in Greeley—is a mix of residential streets and arterial routes that connect to major city corridors. It’s not uncommon for drivers to exceed posted speed limits in these areas or to misjudge intersections, particularly during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced. Multi-vehicle crashes under these conditions can unfold rapidly, with little time for passengers—especially young ones—to react or brace for impact.
In any crash involving children, early and sustained medical attention is critical. Injuries that seem minor at first may evolve into more serious conditions over time, and emotional trauma may persist long after physical wounds have healed.
Families affected by these traumatic incidents often face uncertainty—medically, financially, and emotionally. From dealing with insurance claims to coordinating pediatric care, the path to recovery can be overwhelming without proper support.
