Overview
- Toxicology from the Arapahoe County coroner put Winter’s blood alcohol concentration at 0.185%, more than twice Colorado’s 0.08% legal limit.
- Sheriff’s investigators concluded Winter rear-ended a Ford F-350 that was stopped in the left lane during the second of two consecutive crashes on Nov. 26.
- The F-350 lacked visible rear taillights, yet investigators said its driver had been operating with due regard.
- A full accident reconstruction and witness interviews supported the finding that Winter was at fault, and no criminal charges will be filed.
- A Democratic vacancy committee for Senate District 25 is set to select a successor to serve the remainder of her term through early 2027.
