A man died Friday afternoon at Longmont United Hospital from injuries sustained in a crash outside The Village at the Peaks shopping center earlier in the dayon Friday afternoon.

Longmont Police Sgt. Eric Lewis said preliminary investigation revealed a 69-year-old Longmont woman was attempting to make a left-hand turn into the parking lot of the shopping center shortly before 3:30 p.m. when she collided with a red Ford Mustang that was northbound on Hover Street.

The red Mustang crossed over the median into the southbound lanes of Hover Street and collided with a GMC Denali truck, Lewis said.

The driver of the Mustang, a 24-year-old man who appears to be a California resident, was taken to Longmont United Hospital, where he later died from his injuries, Lewis said.

The driver of the Denali, a 47-year-old Longmont man, and his 13-year-old passenger, also were taken to the hospital but their injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, according to Lewis. The 69-year-old woman was not injured, Lewis said.

He said Witnesses reported that the driver of the Mustang appeared to be moving through traffic faster than other vehicles, so speed is being looked at as a possible factor in the crash, Lewis said. It was not known on Friday night if drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.

The Mustang sustained major damage to most of the driver’s side, and the Denali sustained front end damage.

Lewis said it is possible that two other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Police shut down much of Hover Street between Nelson Road and Clover Basin Drive, and Lewis anticipated it would be closed until about 10 p.m. Friday.

Lewis said a Longmont police officer responding to the call was involved in a traffic crash at Main Street and 17th Avenue. He said no one was injured, but referred further questions to Boulder police, who are investigating the crash.

Boulder police couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Friday night.
