The crash occurred around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, as reported by the Colorado State Patrol. Responding to the tragic incident on Highway 550 near mile marker 88, south of Ouray on Red Mountain Pass, troopers found a silver Honda Civic that had left the road and tumbled down the mountain, ending up overturned in the river.
