GREELEY — The Colorado State Patrol says a crash between a semitrailer and a minivan in Weld County has killed six family members.

Cpl. Eric Wynn says a woman, two men, a 4-year-old, 6-year-old and 9-month old were killed in the crash around 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

He described the adults as a couple and a brother-in-law. Wynn says the minivan carrying the family was northbound on Weld County Road 49 when it passed a relative’s driveway. The minivan was trying to make a U-turn when it was struck by the northbound semitrailer. The semitrailer driver was injured but was expected to survive.

The victims’ names and hometowns weren’t immediately released.
