Authorities issued a citation to the driver of the Kia for illegally turning left, and she was determined to be at fault by investigators. Additionally, the driver of the Toyota was believed to be under the influence at the time of the crash and was arrested for vehicular homicide.A fatal car crash is an emotional experience under any circumstances. Surviving family members are often left grieving the sudden and untimely death of their loved one and typically seek legal recourse and some form of justice. The family of the deceased retains the right to initiate a legal claim for financial relief through the Colorado civil court system. Similarly, those seriously injured due to the negligence of another party to the accident have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. If either drivers are found to have negligently caused or contributed to the fatality or injuries, monetary damages may be awarded to the accident victims or to the family of the deceased victim.Source: koaa.com, 21-year-old ID’s as victim of fatal Barnes Rd. crash, Zach Thaxton, Sept. 29, 2013
