Lakewood, CO (September 9, 2025) – Emergency crews responded Monday evening to a three-car accident on the southbound lanes of Wadsworth Blvd near West 19th Ave. The crash, which occurred just before 5:00 PM, resulted in at least one reported injury and prompted the request for a second medic unit to the scene.
West Metro Fire Rescue’s Engine 1 arrived to find three vehicles involved in the collision, with injured occupants needing assistance. While the crash did not involve any fire or hazardous materials, the extent of injuries required immediate medical attention. Additional EMS personnel were dispatched shortly after the initial assessment to ensure adequate care for all involved.
The accident took place during a high-traffic time on a major north-south thoroughfare in Lakewood. Responders worked to evaluate injuries, coordinate patient care, and manage vehicle clearance while maintaining traffic flow on Wadsworth Blvd. No information has been released regarding the number of individuals transported or the causes behind the collision.
Lakewood Police are leading the investigation. Authorities have not stated whether citations will be issued.
We send our well wishes to those recovering and hope for a full and speedy healing process.
Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Lakewood
Crashes involving multiple vehicles—like the one reported on Wadsworth Blvd—are common in high-density traffic zones, especially during evening rush hour. The combination of driver impatience, sudden braking, and distracted driving contributes to a growing number of chain-reaction collisions throughout Lakewood and greater Jefferson County.
Wadsworth Blvd is one of the city’s busiest arterials, connecting residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and access points to major routes like US 6. With three vehicles involved and a second ambulance required, this crash highlights the kind of fast-moving, multi-victim events that stretch emergency response systems and pose risks to driver safety.
The good news is that no fire was reported, and the quick work of Lakewood’s Engine 1 and paramedic units helped stabilize the scene. Still, even in incidents without visible trauma, injuries like whiplash, sprains, and internal bruising are common and often go untreated in the confusion of multi-vehicle wrecks.
For crash victims, the aftermath often brings more than physical pain. Insurance negotiations, property damage, and emotional tolls can last weeks or months. Accessing reliable medical evaluations and support services early can make a major difference in the recovery journey.
