Colorado State Patrol says more pedestrians injured, killed when drivers ignore red lights, stop signs
According to CSP, two people have been killed and 48 injured so far in 2025. In 2024, three people were killed and 85 were injured. Troopers say pedestrians remain at the highest risk because they don't have any protection when hit by a car.
According to CSP's data, in 2024, 1,539 citations were issued. So far in 2025, 170 citations have been issued.
CSP shared more details involving the counties with the highest number of citations:
Troopers say distracted drivers are the worst when it comes to going through red lights and stop signs. This includes drivers being on their phones, changing music, distracted by passengers, and in a rush.
When you get the green light, it is best to wait an extra couple of seconds," said Colorado State Trooper Gabriel Moltrer. "Make sure you check both directions of travel before you proceed. Do this just in case one person may have been trying to beat the light. Someone may not have been paying attention."
Troopers also remind drivers that children heading back to school are also the biggest risk for getting hit by cars, in part because children like to dart out across the street. Troopers recommend always driving the speed limit and watching out for them around school zones and in neighborhoods.

Suspect in custody after arson fire in western Adams County burns firefighter: officials
An intentionally set fire in western Adams County burned a firefighter and resulted in the arrest of a suspect, officials confirmed. Firefighters had been called to the scene of a reported house fire on the 200 block of Church Road in Franklin Township around 11:22 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025, according to Adams County 911 records. According to Buchanan Valley Volunteer Fire Department Chief Michael Spielman, firefighters who arrived on the scene were originally told that there was a teenager trapped in a back bedroom of the single-wide mobile home. With heavy fire showing from a front porch, firefighters made a push into the home as they attempted to make a potential rescue, with the nozzleman who was operating a hoseline receiving minor burns as they battled the flames. That firefighter was transported to a local hospital by an ambulance, Spielman said, and was discharged the same day. "It was later found that there was not anyone trapped in the home," Spielman said. During the investigation into the fire, it was determined the fire had been "intentionally set," Spielman said. The person who allegedly lit the fire was identified and was taken into custody by Pennsylvania State Police, he said. Further information on the arrest and any investigation was to come from Pennsylvania State Police, he said, who are investigating. In a release on Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 20, 2025, Pennsylvania State Police said that a state police fire marshal had responded to the home to investigate, with the incident listed as an arson As of Wednesday afternoon, charges relating to the fire were not yet available in a search of Adams County court records.

Missing Mom of 7 Found Dead in Submerged Car as Police Say Say Her Death Is 'Questionable'
The family of Consuelo Bernabe is seeking answers after her body was found in a Dodge Caravan in the Brazos River NEED TO KNOW Family members said Consuelo Bernabe, 39, was last seen at a bar in Lott, Texas, on Aug. 15 The Waco Police Department later confirmed that Bernabe's body had been found inside a Dodge Caravan submerged in the Brazos River Authorities said in a news release that the "questionable death" investigation is ongoing A mother of seven children, who was last seen almost a week ago, was found dead in a vehicle submerged in a Texas river. Now, police are investigating what they call a 'questionable death.' The Waco Police Department confirmed in a Tuesday, Aug. 19, update that the victim inside the Dodge Caravan found on Monday, Aug. 18, was Consuelo Bernabe, 39. Maria Romero, a daughter of Bernabe, stated in a Sunday, Aug. 17, social media post that her mother had gone missing two days earlier, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. 'If anybody seen my mother in Waco tx please text me she been missing since Friday COME BACK HOME imy😔🫶🏼Consuelo Bernabe,' Romero wrote. On Monday morning, authorities were notified that the Caravan had been found in the Brazos River near North University Parks Drive and Jefferson Avenue, the Waco Police Department said in a news release. 'Waco Fire dive team, Texas Game Wardens, and Tow King assisted in pulling the car out of the river,' the department's statement read. 'Once the car was removed a female victim was located.' The department added the victim's next of kin was notified. No further details in the case were made immediately available, and police said the investigation is ongoing. David Romero, Bernabe's son, remembered that his mother always smiled, and told CBS affiliate KWTX that "she always took care of her kids," who were "her main priority." David also said it was uncharacteristic of his mother to disappear and not tell anyone. 'I wasn't trying to overthink. I was like, 'But that's not like my mom.' She always has her phone on her, she'll answer any call and message that you send her,' he told KWTX. Hermelinda Romero, another daughter of Bernabe, told ABC affiliate KXXV that her mother was last seen at a bar in Lott on Friday. She suspected foul play, saying, "someone had to be involved" in her mother's death. Hermelinda told KXXV that her mother called the family while out at the bar where she had last been seen, and said she was waiting for a man to come and pick her up. Bernabe's family told the outlet they believed she had been intoxicated at the time of the call. "I feel like it was the guy she was last with, he had to have something to do with it but we don't know why,' Hermelinda said. PEOPLE contacted the Waco Police Department on Wednesday, Aug. 20. In a statement shared with KXXV, the department said: 'As the release states, this is a questionable death investigation and we will not know more until autopsy results come back to determine the cause of her death. All the information released is what is available at this time.'
