Florissant Man Dies in Park County Crash

The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a single-vehicle rollover crash that occurred on Lakeview Road approximately one-half mile West of Mineral Springs Road in Park County. The crash resulted in one fatality.

A 1959 Ford F600 was traveling in a southeasterly direction on Lakeview Road when the driver failed to negotiate a curve to the left. The Ford began rotating counter-clockwise, traveled off the roadway, and began overturning before it came to rest on its roof.

The Ford was not equipped with a seatbelt and the driver, identified as 42-year-old Jonathan Clinton of Florissant, was ejected from the Ford as it overturned. Clinton was pronounced dead at the scene.

Alcohol is suspected as a contributing factor in the crash, which remains under investigation at this time.
