Lakewood police Wednesday identified the woman and child killed Monday afternoon in a car crash on C-470 near Interstate 70.
Eight-year-old Mariah Brower died immediately in the crash, and Monday evening her mother, 40-year-old Lynn Brower, died from her injuries.
A 10-year-old girl, who was not named, remains hospitalized.
The cause of the two-car collision is still under investigation.
Investigators said the Browers’ Ford Explorer was going east just after 2 p.m. when it collided with an Oldsmobile Aurora, ran off the highway, then rolled several times down an embankment near Rooney Road.
Rebecca Niggeler of Silverthorne, the 57-year-old driver of the Oldsmobile, was treated for minor injuries.
Toxicology tests are pending, but detectives do not believe that alcohol or drugs were factor, the Lakewood Police Department said in a statement today.
“There are no pending charges at this time,” the department stated.
