Affidavit says driver may have been asleep in fatal crash

What the affidavit says

An affidavit says the driver involved in a head-on crash may have been asleep behind the wheel. The crash killed a family of five from Kremmling.

The affidavit’s account identifies sleep as a possible factor in the collision. The wording does not establish that the driver was definitely asleep or explain the final legal outcome.

The crash

The collision was a head-on crash involving the driver and the Kremmling family. Five family members died.

The case involves police and court records, including the affidavit that describes the possible sleep-related concern. The affidavit is the basis for the account that the driver may have been asleep when the crash occurred.

What remains part of the case

An affidavit is a sworn document used in legal proceedings. Its claims can be considered as a case moves forward, but the document itself is not a verdict or a final determination of responsibility.

Denver7 reported the affidavit’s account of the crash and the driver’s possible sleep. The primary record linked by that report is not included here.
