Serious injuries in two-vehicle rollover Saturday night

A two-vehicle rollover crash on West Drake Road hospitalized three people Saturday night and prompted a six-hour road closure in west Fort Collins.

Emergency crews responded to the crash about 11:40 p.m. on Drake Road near the intersection with Yorkshire Street, where a westbound 2012 Ford Escape slammed into the back of a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Lt. Kevin Cronin with Fort Collins police said at the scene. The area is about one-half mile west of the intersection of Taft Hill Road.

The impact of the crash caused both vehicles to rotate clockwise and roll onto their roofs.

The driver of the Ford was identified Sunday morning as 34-year-old Jeffrey Bostic, of Fort Collins. He was ejected from the vehicle and later taken to Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland with serious injuries.

The Jeep's driver, Taylor Michie, 24, of Fort Collins suffered moderate injuries. His passenger, 24-year-old Clay Meyer, had to be extricated from the vehicle. He suffered minor injuries, police said Sunday. They were also taken to Medical Center of the Rockies.

All of Drake Road was shut down in the surrounding area for about six hours while crews processed the scene. Shattered glass, tools and mangled car parts were scattered across the road for about 100 yards, interspersed with vehicle fluids and at least one pool of blood. One of the vehicles crashed into a light post, toppling it to the ground.

It isn’t yet known how fast either vehicle was traveling, though Bostic is suspected of driving under the influence and speeding, police said.

The Fort Collins Police Services CRASH team was called in to complete a more thorough investigation.

Colton Harmon, 25, was driving west toward his home on Overland Trail Road. He was one of the first to see the wreckage and immediately ran to render aid to the people trapped in the Jeep.

"I was just trying to get the bleeding to stop," said Harmon, a trained EMT.
