Littleton, CO (September 3, 2025) – Two motor vehicle accidents were reported early Wednesday morning near the intersection of W Coal Mine Ave and S Holland Way, close to the KinderCare Learning Center in Littleton. South Metro Fire Rescue confirmed that injuries were sustained in at least one of the crashes.
Initial dispatches from Engine 13 and Medic 13 noted a motor vehicle accident with unknown injuries near the daycare facility. Minutes later, additional updates confirmed a second crash with known injuries at nearly the same location, prompting the response of West Metro Battalion Chief 3 and multiple emergency medical crews.
Details about the number of vehicles involved in each incident remain limited, but first responders worked quickly to assess those injured and provide medical care. It’s unclear if the two collisions were related or occurred independently in close succession. The area experienced traffic delays as emergency units managed both scenes near the busy daycare and commuter corridor.
Authorities have not released the identities of the drivers or victims, and no information has been provided regarding citations or contributing factors. Investigations into both crashes are ongoing.
We extend our thoughts to those injured and hope for a swift and full recovery.
Traffic Crashes Near Schools and Daycare Zones in Colorado
The double accident near KinderCare on W Coal Mine Ave serves as a critical reminder of the increased dangers in school and daycare zones—especially during early morning drop-off hours. Congested traffic, distracted driving, and rushed commuters often converge in these areas, creating conditions where multiple incidents can occur within minutes.
Daycare centers and school areas should be approached with extra caution by all drivers. With parents navigating tight parking lots, pedestrians crossing streets, and young children nearby, the margin for error is small. Even low-speed collisions can result in injuries, especially when visibility is limited or drivers fail to yield appropriately.
While authorities have not confirmed the exact causes of the two crashes in Littleton, the proximity of the incidents suggests a need for enhanced traffic awareness and possibly structural safety reviews in the surrounding area. Traffic-calming measures, speed enforcement, and signage improvements could all play a role in reducing the likelihood of future crashes in this sensitive zone.
For victims, especially those injured in collisions near schools or daycares, the recovery process may involve more than just medical care—it can also include navigating legal claims, addressing property damage, and ensuring emotional support for affected children and families.
