An 18-year-old Seattle man was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide Wednesday after crashing head-on into an oncoming SUV while passing illegally on a curve, killing the other driver, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Dylan Blessing-Garcia was driving a GMC Sierra northbound on Colorado 135 about 14 miles north of Gunnison at 8:20 a.m. when he tried to pass another vehicle on a double yellow line and on a right-hand curve, state patrol officials said Thursday.
Blessing-Garcia crashed head on into a Ford Escape that heading southbound, driven by a 28-year-old woman from Crested Butte. She died at the scene.
Blessing-Garcia was treated for minor injuries and booked into the Gunnison County Jail on suspicion of vehicular homicide, the state patrol said.
Alcohol and drugs are not suspected as factors in the crash, Sgt. Ivan Alvarado said.
Blessing-Garcia was released from jail on a $5,000 bail and is set to appear in court Nov. 18.
