Dem Senator Killed In Motor

A five-vehicle crash in Centennial, Colorado, killed State Senator Faith Winter on Wednesday evening, making her the only fatality.

The collision happened shortly after 6 p.m. on Interstate 25 near E Dry Creek Road and shut down the highway for hours.

Three others were injured, though officials released no details as the investigation continues.

Colorado Senate leaders expressed “deep grief,” calling Winter “a dedicated public servant whose commitment to Colorado never wavered.”

Winter, 45, began her career in the state House in 2014 and won a Senate seat in 2018, later representing the 25th District.

At the time of her death, she served as assistant Senate majority leader.

Known for advocating transportation, environmental issues, and working families,

Winter was remembered by Governor Jared Polis as a “fierce advocate,” with Secretary of State Jena Griswold saying she leaves a “lasting legacy.”
