Josh Lewi, Colorado State Patrol spokesman told CBS4 that the Jeep had been traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of I-25 when it struck the Subaru.

Alex Rodriguez, the driver of the Jeep, 25 years old, from Ft. Lupton, had rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital in Lafayette with moderate injuries.

The driver of the Subaru, a 16 years old male from Windsor had been taken to Good Samaritan Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The passenger in the Subaru, Kyle Nackos, 19 years of Severance, had also been killed in the crash.
