Multiple people were injured following a traffic crash involving at least three vehicles near Doherty High School late Tuesday morning, according to the Colorado Springs Fire Department.

Just before noon, fire officials confirmed first responders were on the scene of a crash in which individuals were trapped near Doherty in northeast Colorado Springs.

As of 12:15 p.m., officials said one person had been extricated from an involved vehicle.

According to CSFD spokesperson Ashley Franco, five people had been injured and four of them had been taken to local hospitals. One patient was in critical condition, two patients suffered serious injuries, and one suffered minor injuries.

“(The) fifth patient has minor injuries and will be treated and released on the scene,” Franco said.

The crash came nearly a year following the fatal auto-pedestrian crash that killed 17-year-old Doherty High School student Giorgia Trocciola, who was struck in a crosswalk outside the high school in the 500 block of Barnes Road on March 22.

Following Trocciola’s death, city officials announced a new school zone with lights and flashers would be implemented outside of Doherty, according to previous reports by The Gazette.

The school zone was formally implemented on April 24.

It is unclear at this time what circumstances led to Tuesday’s crash.

As of 2:30 p.m., the crash had been cleared from the roadway and all lanes were open.
