While the details of events surrounding that fateful morning crash remain unclear, the date of a life-changing, head-on collision on Highway 82 remains forever etched in Diana Mozâs memory.
âOctober 21. I canât forget that date,â Moz, of Carbondale, recalled this week. She is still feeling the effects of the multi-vehicular accident that required the 31-year-old and her two sons to be airlifted to Denver for advanced medical treatment. Mozâs infant daughter, who was also riding in their SUV, miraculously escaped injury.
The investigation into the crash continues, but no update was available this week from the Colorado State Patrol. What is known and was reported at the time is that during the morning rush hour, Mozâs vehicle, while heading upvalley, was struck head-on by a half-ton pickup truck going downvalley near Jim Grange Lane. The driver was a 51-year-old man from New Castle. Four other vehicles were caught in the chain reaction.
