Details emerge after arrest for near-fatal road rage crash in Colorado Springs
A man Colorado Springs police believe intentionally veered into a motorcycle with his truck in an apparent high-speed road rage incident made his first court appearance Wednesday.
Larry Jarman, 45, is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder after Colorado Springs police arrested him in connection to the near-fatal crash on Aug. 12.
Dash camera video detailed in Jarman’s arrest papers allegedly shows his truck attempt to hit a motorcycle driving along Interstate 25 by the West Fillmore Street exit at least once before it eventually swerves into the motorcyclist and their passenger.
The footage, given to police by a witness, then shows the truck drive over the motorcycle and the passenger, a 52-year-old woman who sustained serious injuries from the incident.
Witnesses also reported seeing the truck chase the motorcycle at high speed before the collision, the arrest papers state. Authorities say the two vehicles were traveling at around 65 mph at the time.
In an interview immediately after the crash, Jarman told police that the motorcyclist had cut him off and started brake-checking him. He said the collision happened when he changed lanes and felt a “bump,” saying the motorcycle must have been in his blind spot.
The motorcyclist, a 62-year-old man, told police that the truck driver followed him after he lane-split, weaving through lanes to pursue him. He claims the driver attempted to hit him twice before striking his motorcycle the third time.
According to the arrest papers, the motorcyclist suffered road rash to his head and face and was walking with a limp and a self-splinted right arm. More details on the injuries to the man and woman have not been shared.
Colorado court records show Jarman posted a $50,000 bond the same day of his arrest.
His next court appearance will be Sept. 16 for a preliminary hearing. The hearing will go over more evidence in the case for a judge to determine if there’s enough to proceed with his charges. However, Jarman could waive this hearing.
Traffic fatalities in the city have increased compared to last year, Police Department spokesperson Derek Wilson said.
There have been 40 traffic fatalities in Colorado Springs so far in 2026. At this time last year, there were 34.
Over the past 365 days, there have been 57 traffic-related fatalities within the city.
