Florissant woman killed in 6-vehicle crash near Hartsel
Two prominent residents of Florissant were involved in a six-vehicle accident that occurred July 11 at about 3:30 p.m. at mile marker 51 on CO 9 in Park County.
According to the Park County Coroner David Kintz, Antoinette (Toni) Moore was pronounced deceased at the scene and family members have confirmed her husband, Don Moore, was airlifted to a hospital in Denver with serious injuries. The Moores were driving a Subaru Crosstrek.
The Moores are co-founders of NoFloCo Fire Mitigation Posse in Teller County and Don Moore recently launched a write-in campaign for Teller County Commissioner.
According to Colorado State Patrol Public Affairs Office, a Ford F350 pulling a horse trailer was southbound on CO 9 when it collided with the Moore’s Crosstrek, causing it to collide with the front of a Subaru Forester. The F350 went off right side of road rotating clockwise striking into the rear of a Harley Davidson XL883. The F350 struck a telephone box and a barbed wire fence before coming to rest on its wheels facing east. The Crosstrek went off the right side of the road and came to rest on its wheels facing east. The Forester continued southbound and went off the west side of the road coming to rest on its wheels facing east. A GMC Yukon was hit by debris and continued northbound. The XL883 rolled onto its left side next to the horse trailer. A Harley Davidson FLSTF went off the right side of the road, rolled over a quarter and came to rest on its left side, facing south.
The driver of the Ford F350 was identified by the Colorado State Patrol as a 21-year-old male from Cañon City and was transported to area hospital with minor injuries. The Forester was driven by a 66-year-old male from Denver who had no injuries. The Yukon was driven by a 70-year-old male from Brighton and had a passenger, a 63-year-old male from Littleton; neither were injured. The driver of the XL883 was a 19-year-old from Fairplay who was transported to hospital with serious injuries. The FLSTF was driven by a 29-year-old male from Hartsel who had minor injuries and was not transported to medical facility.
