DURANGO, CO (April 21, 2018) – Early Saturday morning, a Durango man was fatally struck by a vehicle on Highway 160 near the intersection with County Road 225A.
The man was identified as 43-year-old Mark Deuel, according to Capt Adrian Driscoll of the Colorado State Patrol. Driscoll stated that Deuel was lying in the middle of the road near mile marker 94 around 1:20 AM when he was struck by a westbound 2001 Suzuki Swift. The vehicle was driven by 47-year-old Dana Clark of Pagosa Springs. Clark’s vehicle ran off the road after the impact.
