3 killed after Jeep falls off Colorado cliff during off-roading tour
2022-09-16
[NYP] Three people were killed during an off-roading tour of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains when their Jeep plunged over a cliff on Monday, a report said.

Arizona tourists Diana Robles, 28; Ofelia Figueroa-Perez, 60; and hired driver Don Fehd, 72, were all killed when their 2022 Jeep Gladiator drifted off the edge of Ouray County Road 361 and landed hundreds of feet below, according to The Montrose Daily Press.

The vehicle first fell 100 feet to the bottom of a cliff, according to police and the outlet. It then rolled about 140 feet down a rocky embankment, ejecting Fehd, officials said. The bodies of the two sightseers were found in the car, which rested on its roof near the bank of a creek, police said.

Before the crash, Robles, a Yuma nurse, had reportedly just snapped a picture of the iconic Imogene Pass, a "thrilling" trail that is the second highest drivable pass in Colorado,

#9  Lake City (cannibal town) to Silverton is another challenging drive in the San Juan’s. Not all that dangerous though:

#8  Maybe its time for the cutesy, inverted spare tire cover to be revised to read,”If you can read this, bring a spatula.”

#7  A drive through the country to the Home Depot in Jasper is about all the "adventure" I need.

Very sad.

#6  Beautiful area. Red Mountain pass near there is infamous for having someone go over the side every year. 1 1/2 lane road with semis driving by. If you are on the outside lane, the passenger looks out the window and only sees the valley. No ground. Bit hairy and with the avalanche sheds along the way.

#5  Map Very close to Telluride.

With sidebar photos and reviews. Even a 30-second video, if it ever loads.

Cartelista and main squeeze on a get away from work? Was there a second set of wheel marks just before the unassisted rappel?

#3  Maybe they should recalculate the top 10 drivable passes.
