Visitor Seriously Injured In Rollover Accident

A 58-year-old man was seriously injured on the evening of Friday, July 25th, when his vehicle went off Trail Ridge Road near the Gore Range overlook around 8:30 p.m., then rolled numerous times for over 500 feet downslope from the road. He was able to crawl out of the car, then laid next to it all night until a visitor spotted the wreck around 7:30 a.m. the following morning and notified the park. Rangers found that he’d suffered multiple injuries, and he was flown by a Lifeguard helicopter to the Medical Center of the Rockies. The accident is under investigation.
