Adams Co., CO – Victims Hurt in Crash on Hwy 85 near Bridge St
Written by Bradley Smith
Adams Co., CO (May 5, 2025) – Shortly after 9:00 a.m., on May 5, police and paramedics were dispatched to the scene of a traffic accident on Highway 85 near Bridge Street. At least two vehicles collided in the area under circumstances still being investigated by police.
Multiple lanes of the highway were closed while responders worked to help injured victims. As a result, local drivers were asked to find alternate routes. Those with serious injuries were transported to the hospital for treatment by ambulance. At this time, their names have not been reported. Police in Adams County continue to investigate.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
