On February 1, 2024, at approximately 3:20 PM, the Colorado Springs Police Department responded to a traffic crash involving a vehicle and two pedestrians in the 3000 block of North Cascade Avenue.
Both pedestrians refused medical transport on the scene of the crash. After the crash, one of the pedestrians began suffering headaches and was transported to a local hospital by a personal vehicle. At that time, it was determined that the pedestrian had serious life-threatening injuries.
Several days later, on February 6, 2024, that pedestrian succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. The other pedestrian’s injuries continued to be minor.
On February 7, 2024, the El Paso County Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy on the deceased pedestrian and identified her as 78-year-old Josephine Cameron.
This is an active investigation and charges are currently pending against the driver of the involved vehicle.
This was the 8th traffic fatality in Colorado Springs this year. At this same time last year, there were 4 traffic fatalities. In the past 365 days, there have been 54 traffic fatalities in Colorado Springs.
