Truck v. Motorcycle crash leaves one with serious injuries

The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a truck versus motorcycle crash on Colorado 15, east of milepost 25 between Capulin and La Jara. In a press release, CSP says the crash has resulted in a serious injury to the motorcycle rider.

The accident happened just before 10:30 am. A white 1965 GMC feed truck was driving northbound from a private drive and tried making a right turn onto Colorado 15.

The feed truck traveled into the westbound lane of Colorado 15 before attempting to make another immediate right turn crossing over the eastbound lane toward a residential driveway. That’s when a black Yamaha motorcycle collided with the right front quarter panel of the vehicle.

The driver of the feed truck was 79-year-old Avelino Muniz. The motorcycle rider, 49-year-old Ivan Quintana was transported to Conejos County Hospital where he was treated for serious injuries.

The crash remains at under investigation.
