Jefferson County motorcycle deputy killed in crash on Hwy 93

This is just awful. My heart goes out to the officer's loved ones and fellow officers at the Jefferson County Sheriff's office.

Hwy 93 makes me much more nervous to drive than 285 - there's no margin for error on most of the drive. I hope this brings more motivation to divide this hwy, put up barriers in the median, and make it safer.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. - A Jefferson County motorcycle deputy sheriff was killed in a head-on crash Sunday.

The veteran deputy was on duty and driving northbound on 93 when the driver of a Saturn SUV tried to pass another vehicle in a no-passing zone.

The Saturn's driver, 83-year-old Kenneth Hosch of Golden, crossed the double yellow lane and hit the deputy's motorcycle head-on, investigators said. The deputy was thrown from the Harley-Davidson. Although he was wearing his helmet and eye protection, he sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
