An NBA agent killed Sunday in a car crash on Colorado 82 appears to have stopped at a stop sign before proceeding into the intersection in front of a bus, a Colorado State Patrol spokesman said Monday.
A preliminary report on the accident indicates that Dan Fegan, 56, was at the stop sign at Smith Way and Colorado 82 and proceeded into the intersection from that point, Trooper Josh Lewis said. It is not clear if Fegan came to a full and complete stop at the stop sign, he said.
However, Dan Blankenship, Roaring Fork Transportation Authority chief executive officer, said Monday that video from the bus appears to show the 2018 Kia SUV that Fegan was driving fail to stop at the stop sign.
“In this case it appears the vehicle went through the stop sign,” Blankenship said. “It appeared that he just continued through the intersection. It looks like (the SUV) was moving.”
The 50-year-old bus driver had about two seconds to react, Blankenship said.
“The move (by the SUV) was totally unexpected and (the bus driver) had very little time to react once it happened,” he said.
