As you prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, keep this Colorado family's story in mind.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Colorado Department of Transportation reported 745 people died on Colorado roads in 2022, marking the most roadway deaths since 1981 in the state. According to CDOT, 278 people died in 2022 as a result of impaired driving, which is almost a 60% increase from 2019.
Her cousin, Tanner Lund, was 19 years old when he died, following a March 2022 car crash involving an impaired driver at the intersection of West 98th Ave. and Federal Boulevard in Denver.Then, on May 20 of this year, Sophie was in a terrifying car crash in Falcon. It happened just under two months after getting her license.
Sophie was shocked to learn from the police report that her vehicle spun counterclockwise, because she did not remember that happening. Sophie spent a few days in the hospital recovering, and said getting back behind the wheel has been scary. “Anger and frustration and disbelief. Like, I can't believe that someone else in our family is being affected by an impaired driver," Renee said. “I believe that her [Sophie's] father, and I'll give Tanner a little credit too, were with her that night."
