Pickup, semi collide west of Hayden

Craig — At about 11:45 p.m. Aug. 8, a silver 2005 Toyota Tacoma collided with a 2007 Kenworth Tractor pulling a trailer loaded with coal on U.S. Highway 40, four miles west of Hayden, according to a news release from the Colorado State Patrol.

The eastbound truck drifted into the westbound shoulder of the highway, colliding head-on with the tractor, causing both vehicles to roll over in separate directions.

Kenworth driver Randy Oxley was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and did not suffer any injuries.

Toyota driver Carol Reyes-Flores, of Las Vegas, also remained uninjured because of her seatbelt. Her unrestrained passenger, Robert Haer, of Phoenix, was ejected from the truck’s front-door window during the crash, and he was taken to Yampa Valley Medical Center with serious skeletal and internal injuries.

The State Patrol does not suspect drugs or alcohol as contributing factors to the collision. Fatigued driving is considered to be the primary cause of the crash.

The following agencies assisted CSP with the investigation: Routt County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Department of Transportation, Hayden Police Department and West Routt Fire and Ambulance.
