Pedestrian struck in multi-vehicle crash on Highway 36 near Boulder
A pedestrian was injured in a crash on westbound Highway 36 east of Boulder on Saturday afternoon. The incident involved a broken-down SUV and a second vehicle that lost control. Colorado State Patrol is now investigating the collision. Around 3:45 p.m., a Mercury Mountaineer SUV broke down in the centre lane of westbound Highway 36 near milepost 41. Pedestrians were walking toward the disabled vehicle from both shoulders of the road.
A Honda CR-V tried to avoid the Mountaineer but swerved out of control. It then struck a male pedestrian standing on the inside shoulder. The injured man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, though the extent of his injuries remains unclear.
Highway 36 was closed westbound at the scene, with traffic diverted to McCaslin Boulevard. Authorities have not provided an estimate for when the road will reopen.
