One individual is dead and multiple others are hospitalized with serious injuries following a crash in Cimarron Hills.

The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a fatal crash at North Marksheffel Road and North Carefree Circle that caused the intersection to close Sunday afternoon.

According to a press release from CSP, the crash involved two vehicles that collided head-on in the intersection.

Officials said four parties were sent to a local hospital with serious injuries. One of the four individuals was pronounced dead at the hospital, CSP said.

The identities of those involved in the crash are not yet available. The identity of the deceased individual will be released by the El Paso County coroner after the next of kin is notified, according to officials.

CSP said there is no estimate to when the intersection will reopen to traffic at this time. Drivers are asked to detour at Cimarron Hills to the south, and Barnes Road to the north, and use Peterson Road to avoid the area.
