According to the Colorado State Patrol, the collision took place around 7:00 AM near mile marker 6, in the area near Rabbit Valley. A jeep was traveling eastbound on the I-70 when, for unknown reasons, it veered off the road and crashed into a tree.

Emergency responders pronounced Meredith dead at the scene. The cause of death was later identified as multiple blunt force injuries. The driver and another passenger were able to get themselves out of the Jeep, and were taken to the hospital for unknown injuries.
A westbound lane of the highway was closed for several hours as officials investigated the scene. Wishing them strength and support during this very trying time. The unidentified driver was cited, but no additional information has been released to the public at this time.
