LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — Traffic fatalities continue to rise in Colorado, with more than 3,500 lives lost statewide over the past five years. Of those, nearly 200 deaths occurred in Larimer County alone. The leading causes of these fatal crashes remain consistent: distracted driving, speeding, and intoxication.
Local law enforcement officials are reminding the public that these are not victimless crimes—they leave real families grieving and communities forever changed.
“We’re simply asking drivers to operate safely on our roadways,” said a spokesperson. “If you believe enforcement is just about revenue, then drive lawfully—and deprive us of the need to write citations.”
The message is clear: accountability, awareness, and respect for others on the road save lives.
Key Reminders:
- Avoid distractions like texting, eating, or adjusting the GPS while driving.
- Obey speed limits and adjust for road and weather conditions.
- Never drive impaired—plan ahead with a designated driver or rideshare service.
Let’s work together to reduce these tragic numbers. Drive with justice, kindness, and humility.
