The full story

County and state transportation staff spent the bulk of a work session reviewing accident patterns on Highway 91, identifying recurring hotspots and short- and long-term fixes. Residents and first responders described frequent head-on collisions at curves and snow- or wind-driven whiteout conditions near the county line; CDOT highlighted mile-marker concentrations near about 6.5–8 and 11–12. "We have looked at some of the accident data right there, and there have been a few cars that have gone off there," a CDOT safety official said during the meeting.
