Troopers responding to fatal crash near Pueblo West

PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Colorado State Patrol is responding to a two-vehicle crash on Highway 50 on Monday evening.

According to CSP, just after 5:30 p.m. a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country was turning left from westbound Hwy 50 onto Swallows Rd and pulled in front of a 2009 Ford F-350 traveling eastbound on Hwy 50.

The Ford hit the side of the Chrysler, causing both vehicles to go off the eastbound shoulder of the road.

Troopers say the driver of the Chrysler, Lisel Weidenborner, died at the scene of the crash. She was wearing her seatbelt.

The occupants of the Ford were taken to a nearby hospital to be checked for injuries. No word on how many people were in the Ford or the severity of their injuries.

CSP is asking drivers to avoid the area or drive slowly if passing through. Authorities say they do not suspect alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.
