@dancingwoman    I've! been meaning to ask you, A few days ago on our news they announce that a jeep from a tour company had gone over a cliff and killed 3 people.  No other information.

 

Since it was South of Ouray , I'm guessing it was on the Million Dollar Highway?  Any other details?

@Kachina624  the accident happened while an employee of the Jeep tour company was taking two Arizona women tourists on a 4 wheel drive near 

Imogene Pass...the cause of the accident is under investigation.  

The Jeep tumbled 250 feet down the cliff.  They aren't releasing too much info.  They did identify the victims.

 

Heres a clip from the article...

 

 

"The Colorado State Patrol says it responded to a report of a crash at 12:32 p.m. and found a white Jeep hundreds of feet down from the road. The vehicle  was believed to have slipped over the side of the trail, falling 100 feet and landing on its roof before rolling a further 140 feet down the embankment. The vehicle's driver was ejected, and his body was found near the banks of Canyon Creek. His passengers, a pair of Arizona tourists, were found dead inside the vehicle."

 

As you know those roads can be treacherous....I hope it's ok to post this...it's very sad....DW

Thanks, @dancingwoman .  I guess it wasn't the MDH then.
