Two Colorado State Troopers were involved in a serious injury crash on Highway 225 near Parker Road in Arapahoe County.
Colorado State Patrol says the troopers were investigating a crash on northbound Highway 225 when the accident happened. Both troopers were standing on the shoulder of the road when a Ford Explorer lost control on the icy roadway.
The Explorer hit the patrol car parked on the left shoulder. The patrol car was pushed into the center concrete median barrier and into both troopers. The Explorer then hit the car that was involved in the previous crash.
The Colorado State Troopers were transported to Aurora South Hospital with moderate and serious non-life threatening injuries.
The troopers have been identified as Trooper Ron Greasley and Trooper Jason Burger. Trooper Greasley is a 14-year veteran of the state patrol. He was taken to Aurora South Hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries. Trooper Burger, a 1-year veteran of the state patrol, sustained moderate injuries.
The driver of the Ford Explorer has been identified as Edilberto Garcia-Castro, age 30 of Aurora. The passengers were identified as Brenda Marcelo, age 26 and Fernanda Garcia, age 4 both from Aurora. No one in that car was injured in the crash.
Troopers say alcohol or drugs are not suspected as contributing factors, but they do suspect the driver was driving too fast for the road conditions.
