Good morning, Colorado Springs.

On Saturday at about 11 a.m., state troopers reported that a Nissan Pathfinder rolled on North Peyton Highway east of Colorado Springs, causing a rollover crash in which four teenage motorists were injured—one fatally—after the driver was ejected from the vehicle.

Two motorists died and two others were seriously injured in a two-car crash in east Colorado Springs early Sunday—police said a vehicle trying to turn left hit another coming southbound at the intersection of South Powers and East Fountain boulevards near the airport.

Colorado Springs Police Department is seeking community help to locate 21-year-old Brandon Hugney, an at-risk adult last seen in the 1500 Block of Tesla Drive around 3:00 p.m. Sunday who is described as white (5'10", 160 lbs) with brown eyes, a thin black mustache and a crew cut, wearing a white Colorado University t-shirt, red shorts, gray sandals and red and black glasses.

El Paso County deputies are searching for 13-year-old Lyrek Pacheco after she was last seen riding her bike on Sunday around 6:55 p.m. on Kiva Road in Security-Widefield (she wore black pants and a black and white t-shirt) and ask anyone with information to call (719) 3905555.

A study by the Trust for Public Land found that over 20 million visitors used Colorado Springs parks in 2024, generating about $90 million for the local economy.

Director Britt Haley said the parks also raised housing values—and saved the city $10.6 million in stormwater management costs while reducing healthcare expenses for residents.

Residents in Colorado Springs say delays at the local Housing Authority are causing housing insecurity as families wait over 30 days for voucher transfers and some face eviction issues — residents report sleeping in cars or motels while waiting for help.

Federal funding changes will soon convert emergency vouchers to traditional ones and open a lottery for new applications to ease the long wait.

Some Colorado Springs residents have faced housing insecurity due to delays in the Section 8 voucher process that left them homeless or at risk of eviction.

Local officials say the complex federal guidelines and funding issues are causing these delays — pre-application sign-up will open online Tuesday at noon until Thursday at noon.

The free Department of Defense Warrior Games will take place from July 18 to 26 at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, where almost 200 wounded, injured and adaptive military and veteran athletes will compete in 11 adaptive sports in teams from all service branches (Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force/Space Force and Special Operations Command). Colorado College has arranged volunteer roles and paid internships to support the event and boost local sports tourism.
