They add that an unrestrained child was ejected and pinned under the vehicle. Two other children and one adult were transported for medical attention.

State Patrol says that the 6-year-old boy who was ejected was pronounced dead on the scene.

The other passengers, a 26-year-old woman, a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old boy sustained minor injuries.

Police add that the driver of the Ford Explorer was 26-year-old Xavier Serros Carrasco. He was not injured.

Alcohol and drugs are suspected factors in this crash, Colorado State Patrol said in a statement released Friday morning. They added that charges are pending further investigation for Carrasco.
