1 Killed, 3 Injured in Denver Car Accident
A passenger died and three other people were hurt in a crash on East 14th Avenue in Denver early Saturday.
A passenger was killed and three other people were injured in a car crash on East 14th Avenue in Denver on November 7, according to Denver Police.
What Happened on East 14th Avenue
Officers were investigating at East 14th Avenue and North Colorado Boulevard shortly after midnight, Denver Police posted. Four people were taken to a hospital. The passenger, Camden Warren, 29, of Colorado Springs, was pronounced dead.
She had been riding in a car driven by Matias Lopez, 25. Denver Police said Lopez went through a red light and hit a vehicle traveling north on Colorado Boulevard. Several cars were involved.
Warren was a hairstylist and a mother in Colorado Springs. She left behind a son, who is five. Friends described her as someone who brought warmth and positivity to everyone she met.
Where the Denver Police Case Stands
Lopez was charged with vehicular homicide and driving under the influence, Denver Police said. Jail records still listed him in Denver County custody as of Wednesday afternoon, and a Denver County judge is scheduled to hear his case Thursday morning. Police have not given further details about the circumstances of the crash. A GoFundMe page has been set up for Warren's family.
Blood test results from a state lab can take weeks, so charges sometimes come well after a crash.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Colorado usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
