Two recent Colorado Springs motorcycle fatalities ID’d
Both motorcyclists who died in unrelated crashes in Colorado Springs on Nov. 3 have been identified by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office.
The man who died when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle in the 500 block of West Garden of the Gods Road earlier this month has been identified as 54-year-old Spencer Cooreman.
Police were notified of the crash at about 3:30 p.m. Nov. 3.
Police said that the motorcycle rider’s speed was a factor in this crash.
According to social media and an online obituary, Cooreman was born in South Bend, Ind., lived in Colorado Springs and is survived by a wife and three children.
At about 5 p.m. Nov. 3, police were notified of another vehicle-versus-motorcycle crash, this time in the 1900 block of South Monterey Road.
Investigators say the motorcycle driver was traveling southbound on Monterey Road when a southbound vehicle began making a U-turn. The motorcycle struck the side of the turning vehicle.
The motorcyclist’s speed was determined to be a factor in the crash.
He was later positively identified as 29-year-old Cody Zimmerman. A GoFundMe established by one of his brothers for funeral costs, states that Zimmerman was the youngest of eight siblings, and leaves behind his siblings, both parents, and 16 nieces and nephews.
The deaths mark the 46th and 47th traffic fatalities in Colorado Springs this year, according to Colorado Springs police.
