South Fork Fire Rescue responded to a crash on Highway 160 near the Wolf Creek Ski Area at 3:23 a.m. on October 9.
The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) reports that the 43 year old Florida-based truck driver missed a curve and veered off the highway into the side of the mountain, traveling 88 feet before coming to a stop.
