The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a single-vehicle motorcycle crash that occurred on Highway 24 near milepost 277 in Park County. The crash resulted in one fatality.
A 2019 Harley Davidson FLH three-wheeled motorcycle was traveling eastbound on Highway 24 when the driver failed to negotiate a curve to the right.
