Thornton, CO (September 10, 2025) – A major crash on Tuesday morning, September 9, left several people critically injured on I-25 southbound near 104th Avenue.

The collision occurred at approximately 7:15 a.m. when multiple vehicles collided in the southbound lanes. The impact crushed one vehicle, trapping a passenger inside.

Emergency crews arrived within minutes. Firefighters worked urgently with rescue tools to free the trapped passenger. Paramedics provided immediate medical treatment before rushing several victims to a nearby hospital, where at least one person remains in critical condition.

Traffic on I-25 quickly came to a standstill, with backups extending as far as East 144th Avenue. Witnesses reported a chaotic scene as emergency responders stabilized victims and cleared the wreckage.

Authorities have not released the identities of those involved.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. We wish them a full and swift recovery.

Car Accidents in Colorado

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of catastrophic injuries across Colorado, particularly in growing cities like Thornton. With thousands of vehicles on the road each day, one careless action, whether distraction, speeding, or impaired driving, can cause a crash in seconds.

The injuries from these crashes can be life-altering. Victims often suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, severe burns, or internal bleeding. Many require multiple surgeries, months of rehabilitation, and long hospital stays. For some, the effects are permanent, preventing them from returning to work or resuming the lives they once knew

If you or a loved one was injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, insurance companies often fight these claims, offering settlements that fall short of what victims truly need.

That is why having the right advocate matters. A skilled car accident lawyer can investigate the crash, negotiate with insurers, and fight for you in court if necessary. With strong legal representation, victims have the best chance of securing full and fair compensation.
