The child who was killed in the four-vehicle crash on Interstate 25 near Loveland on Tuesday has been identified by the Larimer County Coroner’s Office.
Elijah Manley, 17 months, was killed in the crash that also injured another juvenile and two adults in the vehicle he was riding in, according to an emailed statement from the coroner’s office Thursday morning.
The four-vehicle crash near Crossroads Boulevard in Loveland was the result of an earlier incident where a vehicle involved in a medical emergency had to pull to the side of the road for emergency care, according to a Colorado State Patrol Tuesday release. The secondary crash involved a box truck, a Lexus GX, a Kia Telluride, and a Chevrolet Silverado hauling a trailer.
Two adults and one of the children in the Lexus were transported to the hospital, but the other child in the vehicle, Elijah, was pronounced dead at the scene.
