Faith Winter, a Colorado state senator, dies in I-25 multi-car crash at age 45

State Sen. Faith Winter died on Wednesday in a multi-car crash on Interstate 25. That's according to Gov. Jared Polis and Colorado Senate Democrats, who announced just before 10 p.m. that she is the person who lost her life in the crash that closed the northbound lanes of the interstate in Arapahoe County in the evening.

As of 9:45 p.m., the northbound lanes remained closed at the Dry Creek exit, in the southern part of the Denver metro area. Several other people were also hurt in the crash, and so far it's not clear what led to the wreck.

State Rep. Shannon Bird posted on X that she's "heartbroken" by the the news. Other politicians shared similar messages online. ---More...
