DENVER—Authorities have released the name of a woman who died after she collided with a school bus at an intersection in the southwest Denver metro area.
The Colorado State Patrol says 89-year-old Elizabeth R. King of Littleton was driving a Chevrolet Monte Carlo when she ran a stop sign and drove into the path of the bus at about 4 p.m. Friday.
Patrol spokesman David Hall says the front end of the bus struck the driver’s side of the Chevrolet.
King was taken to a Littleton hospital where she was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
The driver of the school bus was not hurt. Three children—ages 7, 15 and 17—were on the bus at the time of the accident but were not injured.
Hall says Colorado Academy in Lakewood owned and operated the bus.
