Emergency personnel work at the scene of fatal crash involving a SUV and a flatbed tow truck near Niwot, Colorado on June 18, 2018.

One person was killed Monday morning after her vehicle collided with a tow truck on Diagonal Highway near Niwot.

Colorado State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis said the crash was reported at about 11 a.m. on Diagonal Highway near Niwot Road. Lewis said a vehicle driven by a 70-year-old woman and a tow-truck driven by a 57-year-old man collided.

The truck was also towing a third vehicle that was also involved in the crash, but that vehicle was unoccupied, Lewis said.

The woman, who is from California, was declared dead on scene. Her identity will be released by the Boulder County Coroner’s Office.

The driver of the truck was taken to Boulder Community Health’s Foothills Hospital with minor injuries, Lewis said.
