A teenager driving a scooter died Wednesday when an SUV rounded a corner and hit the scooter head-on, according to investigators.
The fatal crash happened about 7:25 p.m. Wednesday in the 35000 block of Cherokee Trail, northwest of Elizabeth in the Ponderosa Park area of Elbert County.
Jordan Cupit, 16, of Elizabeth, died in the crash, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Cupit, who was driving a 2008 Yamaha scooter, was not wearing a helmet. He was rushed to a local hospital where he died of his injuries.
He was driving north on Cherokee when a 2002 southbound Ford Expedition rounded a corner and drifted onto the wrong side of the road, hitting the scooter, said Trooper Josh Lewis, a state patrol spokesman.
