One truck driver was killed late Thursday when two semis smashed head-on on Colorado 14 near New Raymer, authorities said.
One driver made it out of his truck before the vehicles exploded shortly after impact, said Colorado State Patrol Trooper Gilbert Mares.
The semis slammed into each other about 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of Colorado 14 and Weld County Road 86, between Fort Collins and Sterling. One of the trucks was towing a flat-bed trailer carrying pallets while the other was an empty-bedded cattle transport, Mares said.
Both trucks were fully engulfed in flames when authorities arrived, Mares said.
Authorities had not determined which vehicle’s driver had survived the crash.
No information was available on the identity of the drivers or the cause of the accident.
