HAYDEN, CO (February 27, 2023) – The Routt County Coroner’s Office identified 14-year-old Alexis Lighthizer as the victim who died in a crash on Highway 40 on February 21.
 
According to the Colorado State Patrol, the collision happened near mile marker 100. Based on a report, Lighthizer was an occupant of a westbound 1986 Ford F250 that crossed over into the eastbound lane for an unknown reason.
