Four people were killed in the April 25 crash on Colorado’s Interstate 70
A total of 40 charges have been filed against a truck driver accused of causing last week’s 28-car pile-up on Colorado’s Interstate 70 that led to four deaths. Prosecutors allege Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, 23, was driving a tractor-trailer when he lost control and crashed into traffic that was already backed up on I-70.
“He was operating the vehicle under circumstances where he was exhibiting extreme indifference to the value of human life,” Jefferson County District Attorney Pete Weir said Friday, CBS Denver reported.
Weir said there is a “relationship” between each count that was filed and a separate individual who was killed or seriously injured or put a serious risk of bodily injury or death.
