June 16, 2022 at 10:28 pmA rural Colorado sheriff criticized a sports car rally for endangering his county’s citizens following high-speed crash that killed two members of the event Thursday.
The two men, whose identities have not yet been released, died when their vehicle left the roadway 15 miles west of Norwood. The car was traveling at least 140 mph, the sheriff stated in a Twitter message. It jumped a fence and rolled several times. The driver was ejected. While offering his condolences to the families and friends of the two men who died, San Miguel Sheriff Bill Masters wrote in the social media message that the crash “was a preventable incident. And I don’t appreciate what amounts to reckless and intentional disregard for the people of our county. They could have killed an innocent motorist. Crown Rally needs to re-think what they’re doing out on the roads.
