Man dies from injuries in northeastern Colorado Springs car crash

Lakewood police investigating 'suspicious death' after house fire Friday night

A man died from injuries he suffered during a car crash in northeastern Colorado Springs Saturday, police said.

Colorado Springs Fire Department responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Barnes Road and Antelope Ridge Drive around 2:38 p.m. Saturday when they found 30-year-old Mick Gardner partially ejected from his Honda hatchback. First responders provided first aid and transported Gardner to a local hospital.

A gray Tesla sedan was headed west on Barnes Road and tried to turn left onto southbound Antelope Ridge Drive under a yellow light, when the driver hit Gardner’s eastbound Honda hatchback, which also had a yellow light. Gardner’s vehicle slid off the right side of the road and struck a fire hydrant.

Police are still investigating whether Gardner was wearing a seat belt during the crash.

Gardner died Monday from injuries suffered during the crash, police said. His was second traffic death in Colorado Springs this year.
