It was a bad start to the morning commute with a fatal accident on US 36. The accident happened near the 80th Ave bridge a little after midnight. Initially, a car going eastbound was involved in a single car accident. The 2 people in that vehicle got out of the car and were in the road when they were struck by a semi truck which was also traveling eastbound on the highway. One person died at the scene. A second person was transported to St. Anthony Central Hospital with unknown injuries. The WB lanes opened before 5 a.m. the EB lanes opened at 5:40 a.m.

Lone Tree is the latest city to install red light cameras. They will install the system on Lincoln Ave at Park Meadows Drive and at Yosemite at Park Meadows Center Drive. Red light cams are already used in Denver, Aurora, Greenwood Village, Boulder and Fort Collins. The system should be operational by June 1st.
