At least one person died Sunday afternoon in a two-car crash northeast of Colorado Springs in unincorporated El Paso County, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The first calls reporting the crash near Elbert Road and Murphy Road came in at about 1:08 p.m. Sunday, Colorado State Patrol Trooper Gabriel Moltrer said.
That intersection is about 25 miles northeast of Colorado Springs and 3 miles south of Eastonville.
Moltrer said at least one person died and another was taken to the hospital. It’s unclear how many people were inside both cars at the time of the crash.
The intersection of Elbert and Murphy is closed Sunday for the crash clean-up and investigation, he said.
