If you or a loved one sustained injuries due to someone else’s careless actions, allow our Pueblo car accident attorneys at Heuser & Heuser to assist you with your legal claim. Some of the recent auto accidents that occurred in Pueblo include the following:
Police Officer Killed in Crash, Including Child and Woman
Police officers in two patrol cars were involved in an accident with another vehicle heading in the opposite direction. The officers were traveling to a domestic violence call when the collision occurred.
Taelor Roybal, 23-years-old, and her 1-year-old son, Ezekiel Valdez, died due to their injuries. Sergeant Matthew Moreno, Kenny Lopez, and Trent Gomez were also involved in the automobile accident. Sergeant Moreno “was pronounced dead on arrival to the hospital,” according to KOAA News 5. The other two officers survived but did sustain injuries.
Argument Led to 16-Year-Old Pedestrian in Severe Condition
An 18-year-old was in an argument with a 16-year-old while driving, which caused the teenager to jump from the moving vehicle. The 16-year-old was run over by the driver, reported KOAA News 5. The crash occurred at 4th and Midtown. Currently, no charges have been made, however, the case is under investigation.
Two Killed in Possible DUI Accident
In Colorado Springs on Highway 85, south of Main Street, a possible DUI collision is under investigation. Amanda Sandoval was driving a Chevy Impala and attempted to pass another motorist when she lost control of the vehicle.
An article by KKTV 11 News stated, the “Impala spun and crossed the center median into the northbound lanes, striking the driver’s side of a VW Jetta. The Jetta was shoved backward off the road while the Impala flipped once, landing on its roof.”
According to police, the driver of the Impala and the passenger of the Jetta both died. They were not wearing restraining devices. Alcohol consumption and speeding may be determinants as to why the collision occurred.
61-Year-Old Pedestrian Killed in Fatal Crash
Dennis D. Eastom died when he attempted to cross the street when the light was green for drivers. The investigation determined that one of the drivers on the road was able to avoid the person by swerving, while another driver was unable to avoid crashing.
Currently, no charges have been made, and the driver who hit Eastom was not intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know What My Injury Case Is Worth in Colorado Springs?
There are a variety of things we look at when evaluating your case and determining its value.
We look at how the accident occurred: How did someone else’s carelessness lead to the accident? Did your actions also contribute to the crash?
We also look at what sort of injuries you sustained: Do you have a permanent injury that will last the rest of your life? Are you going to have future medical bills?
We look at lost wages: Did you lose your job? If you have permanent work restrictions due to the accident, you may not be able to find a job very easily in the future.
These are only some of the factors that we look at in evaluating a claim. You may have additional losses to account for in a claim, and sometimes additional evidence or expert witnesses will be needed to support an evaluation.
