FORT COLLINS – Fort Collins police cited a Windsor teen Thursday in connection with a July crash that took the life of his younger brother.
Michael Agnew, 17, was cited for careless driving and for not wearing a seat belt. Careless driving that results in a death is a Class 1 traffic misdemeanor, according to a Fort Collins police press release.
The crash happened about 12:30 p.m. July 2 when a 2005 Toyota Corolla driven by Agnew was westbound on Harmony Road and made a left turn at Lady Moon Drive. A Chevrolet Tahoe, in the left lane of eastbound Harmony, avoided a collision with the Corolla, but a 2004 Jeep Cherokee traveling in the right lane of eastbound Harmony collided with the passenger side of the Corolla.
The driver of the Cherokee, James Kriewall, 68, of Fort Collins, suffered minor injuries. His wife, Nancy Kriewall, 66, was seriously injured. Both were taken to Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, where they were treated and released.
Agnew’s brother Mitchell Agnew, 16, died at the scene. Michael was taken to Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins with minor injuries.
