COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—One of the people killed in a highway crash in Colorado Springs is being identified as a longtime home-health care provider in the Cotopaxi area.
Authorities say 64-year-old Sylvia Hinklin was killed, along with her dog, when another vehicle struck her 2002 Saturn on Interstate 25 early Tuesday morning.
Colorado Springs police say a man fleeing from an officer hit Hinklin’s car with the 2002 Volkswagen Jetta that he was driving south in the northbound lanes of I-25.
That driver is identified as 25-year-old Matthew Sims of Widefield. He was a 2003 graduate of Widefield High School.
Records show Sims pleaded guilty to a reckless driving charge in 2006 after authorities caught him driving 107 miles-per-hour in a 65-mile-per-hour zone in Jefferson County.
