22-year-old identified in deadly drunken driving crash on Platte Avenue

Jessenya Gaytan

The El Paso County Coroner’s Office identified 22-year-old Jessenya Gaytan as the woman killed in a drunken driving crash in late August in east Colorado Springs.

Officers were called to the 2300 block of East Platte Avenue at about 2:15 a.m. Aug. 24 and found a woman dead on scene. Medics rushed two other people to a hospital, according to a Wednesday news release.

Investigators determined that a car was traveling eastbound when it veered off the south side of the road and struck a tree. Initial reports indicated that alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash, police said.
