Accident Reconstruction is investigating a fatal crash that occurred on June 30, 2025 on I-70.
A preliminary investigation revealed a Ford Explorer was traveling eastbound on I-70 around 10:15 a.m. The Ford was attempting to take the exit lane at Adelaide when the driver, a 17-year-old male, realized he was on the wrong exit and swiftly veered to the left to get back onto the interstate. The vehicle then rolled through the grassy area that separates the exit ramp from the interstate and came to a rest upside down on the interstate.
The driver of the Ford was transported to the hospital where he was listed in stable condition. The passenger, 17-year-old Samirah Simpson, was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. The investigation remains ongoing.
