GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) – A heavy police presence is currently occupying the area of North 1st street and North Avenue, as well as North Avenue and 7th Street.
KKCO is awaiting confirmation from law officials on what transpired, but a KKCO crew was sent out to the scene and noted that the Dairy Queen on 709 North Avenue was taped off, and that there was visible glass strewn across the parking lot.
Just a block away, a knocked down telephone pole was laying in the road by the Sinclair gas station at 201 North Avenue.
Grand Junction Police cruisers were blocking the intersection of 1st and North Avenue. In that area, crew could see four vehicles in the eastbound lane that sustained significant damage. Among those vehicles was a gray truck that was flipped over, two vehicles that had collided into each other and a white car that had damage to its back left side.
KKCO has not received official confirmation on if the two scenes are related. The Grand Junction Police Department (GJPD) is asking the public to avoid these areas.
KKCO will continue to update this article as more becomes known.
