A deadly accident on I-25 and South Academy left the northbound lanes of I-25 closed between South Academy and Circle for several hours Tuesday morning.
The accident happened around 12:30 a.m. Police say 25-year-old Matthew Sims was driving on the wrong side of the interstate when he hit another car head-on.
The other vehicle was driven by Sylvia Hinklin, 64, of Cotopaxi. Both Hinklin and Sims, of Widefield, were killed in the crash. A small dog being driven in Hinklin's car was also killed.
An officer who attempted to approach Sim's car before the crash says the car accelerated to 90 mph upon his approach. Police say that speed was a definite factor. It is unknown whether alcohol also played a role.

I have known Matt Sims since I went to CSDB in fall of 1988. He was a sweet guy I've ever known. I will never forget the fun memories I have with him. I will always remember him in my heart and forever. I will always miss him.
