Officers from the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) responded to a car accident report at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday near Constitution Avenue and Alpine Drive.
According to authorities, two cars were speeding westbound on Constitution, while a third was attempting to make a left turn from eastbound Constitution onto Alpine Drive.
One of the drivers traveling west collided with the driver turning left.
