The Park County Coroner’s Office has identified the 65-year-old woman who died following a single-vehicle crash on Colorado Highway 9 near Alma on Friday, Feb. 14.
Julie Danielsen, of Alma, died at St. Anthony Summit Hospital after she was transported by first responders, Park County Coroner David Kintz Jr. said in a statement Monday, Feb. 17. The cause of death is pending an autopsy.
