Wheat Ridge Police Department

CASE UPDATE: Our preliminary investigation indicates the box truck’s brakes failed as the driver was trying to exit I-70 going east. The driver went across a grassy shoulder to avoid parked cars and tried to continue onto Kipling St. before tipping over. No criminal charges are warranted in this case.

UPDATE: All lanes of Kipling are back open. Thank you for your patience.
