Governor Polis Releases Statement on Tragic Loss of Two CDOT Employees, Colorado Motorist

Statement

By: Jared Polis

Date: Sept. 4, 2024

Location: Mesa County, CO

Issues: Transportation Criminal Justice

Today in Mesa County, after stopping to the side of the road to fix a sign, two dedicated Colorado Department of Transportation employees were struck by a passing vehicle that led to the tragic loss of three lives and a fourth being hospitalized. I’m heartbroken by this horrible accident and my thoughts are with the families of the individuals, CDOT, and the communities. These Coloradans will be missed by their state, families, and communities. I speak for the entire state when I say that they will be missed.
