80 mph winds reported in area where small moving trailers crashed on Jefferson County Highway
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) – Strong winds caused chaos for some drivers in Jefferson County on Thursday. Three small trailers went flying off Highway 93, which had to be shut down for a while. At times, the wind gusts reportedly reached 80 miles an hour near Rocky Flats along Colorado 93 north of Golden. Denver weather: Sunshine for Friday, but still breezy Warnings went up both on signs along the roadway and on the Colorado Department of Transportation's CoTrip site. One of the toppled trailers belonged to John Cordova, who was pulling it behind his truck when a blast of air came roaring through. 'The next thing you know, the back end of the truck came up about two feet, and the trailer moved to one side, and all of a sudden the trailer became unhitched, and we lost the trailer,' Cordova said. Cordova's trailer was full of yard equipment and went off to the side of the road. Raymond Marquardt was in the passenger seat. 'What I thought was going to be just a lovely day turned into kind of a nightmare. I didn't expect the winds to be this bad today,' Marquardt said. Denver air traffic control briefly lost communication Monday Traffic was backed up near another trailer that was turned on its side, also along Colorado 93. Part of the road was shut down temporarily near the Table Rock Ridge neighborhood, which some people call Windy Acres. Thursday was no exception. 'It was howling all over the place like blowing stuff through the yards and everything,' resident Darrin LeBlanc said. The trailer appeared to have a golf cart inside that was heavily damaged. 'It's just nerve-wracking. Unsettling,' resident Kelly Kenyon said.

For Cordova, this was a close call and a reminder that Colorado weather is always full of surprises. Colorado State Patrol told FOX31 that roads are closed due to safety and harsh conditions, after a joint decision was made with CDOT and local agencies. Highway 93 remained open for most of the day.

Alabama sets a June date for its 5th execution using nitrogen gas
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama plans to carry out another execution by nitrogen gas and has set a June execution date for a man convicted of the 1988 killing of a woman. Gregory Hunt is scheduled to be put to death June 10 for the 1988 beating death of Karen Lane. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday announced the execution date following authorization by the Alabama Supreme Court. Alabama last year became the first state to carry out an execution with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen has now been used in five executions — four in Alabama and one in Louisiana. The method involves using a gas mask to force a person to breathe pure nitrogen gas, depriving them of the oxygen needed to stay alive. If the execution goes forward, Hunt would be the sixth person put to death by the new execution method. Lane was found dead on Aug. 2, 1988, in the Cordova apartment she shared with another woman. Hunt had been dating the victim, Lane, for about one month before her death, according to court records. Prosecutors said Hunt broke into her apartment and killed her. A physician who performed an autopsy testified that Lane had sustained some 60 injuries, including 20 to the head. A jury in 1990 convicted Hunt of capital murder and recommended by a vote of 11-1 that he receive a death sentence. The Alabama attorney general's office, in a motion seeking the execution date, wrote there was no doubt about his guilt and said that Hunt had admitted to his cellmate that he killed Lane. Lawyers for Hunt had asked the court to wait on an execution date. They argued that a February U.S. Supreme Court decision could be applicable to his longstanding claim that his conviction was unconstitutionally obtained by false or misleading evidence. Hunt had named nitrogen as his preferred method. The selection was made before Alabama had developed procedures for using gas. Alabama also allows to choose lethal injection or the electric chair. If the execution goes forward, it would be the third execution in Alabama this year.
