PEYTON, CO – Colorado State Patrol
The Colorado State Patrol said a 17 year old girl from Peyton died Saturday after her car went off the road near Curtis Road and Garrett Road in El Paso County.  As the girl neared the intersection, the girl steered to the left, which caused the Saturn to begin rotating counter – clockwise.  The car went off the road into the pasture where it rolled over four times before stopping.  The girl was driving at a high rate of speed and was not wearing her seatbelt.  The girl was ejected from the vehicle as it overturned and she suffered fatal injuries.

Alcohol and drugs are not considered to be factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.

Due to the driver’s age, her name is being withheld.
