Two elderly men facing serious injuries after being hit in crash at Marksheffel and Space Village Ave.
UPDATE: Colorado State Patrol (CSP) tells KRDO13 that a 67-year-old woman driving a Subaru pulled out from a stop sign at Space Village Road, hitting a 1930 Model A Ford that was traveling southbound on Marksheffel, with two elderly men inside.
Those men, ages 82 and 80, both suffered serious injuries, with the 80-year-old who was the passenger, facing life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Subaru was also transported with minor injuries.
It's worth noting that 1930 Model A Fords were not manufactured with seatbelts installed.
CSP says that neither speed or impairment is being considered as a factor in the crash, just that there was a failure to adhere to the Right of Way. They added that no citations have been issued yet.
