The passenger from the wrecked vehicle was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

The investigation into the collision is ongoing, and additional findings may be made public as the case develops. We are thinking of the injured passenger and hoping for a full recovery.
What Are the Legal and Physical Risks of Street Racing in Colorado?
Street racing is illegal in Colorado and carries serious criminal consequences when it results in harm to others. When a driver causes injury through reckless behavior behind the wheel, the charge can escalate to vehicular assault, which is classified as a felony under state law. A conviction at the Class 5 felony level can result in prison time, fines, and a lasting criminal record.
Beyond the legal side, the physical risks of street racing are severe. High-speed driving on public roads dramatically reduces a driver’s ability to react to changes in the road ahead, and a rollover at racing speeds can subject everyone inside the vehicle to life-threatening forces. Passengers in these situations have no control over the risk being taken on their behalf.
Rollovers are among the deadliest types of crashes in the United States. They are more likely at high speeds, particularly when a vehicle loses traction or a driver overcorrects, and they frequently result in ejection or serious internal injuries for those inside.
