CDOT Considers Stoplight At Site Of Deadly Crash

by Michelle Griego
ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4) ― Officials from Arvada and the Colorado Department of Transportation planned to meet Tuesday morning to talk about the possibility of installing a traffic light at W. 62nd and Ward Rd. where three teens died in a car crash earlier this month.

CDOT said they have enough money in the budget to fix two to three intersections a year. Their research showed before the accident that there were no fatalities in at least 12 years at 62nd and Ward Rd. The agency had deemed it less hazardous than many other intersections in the Denver metro area.

The intersection was listed at No. 5 among places in the metro area that needed a traffic light. It could now be moved up on that list.

The three victims, all 17, were Kayla DeMars, Angelina Ford and Daniel LoSasso. Jeremiah Ogden faces three counts of careless driving resulting in death, as well as two driver's license violations.

One of the violations was of a Colorado law that denied teens the right to have more than one passenger in a vehicle until they are 18. The accident occurred the day before his birthday.

Ogden is to appear in court Oct. 25.
