The driver of the box truck in a four-vehicle crash that killed a 17-month-old on Interstate 25 near Loveland in December pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and other felonies and will possibly serve a sentence in Larimer County\u2019s Community Corrections program instead of prison.<\/p>\n

Jose Salazar veered from the center lane and struck a Lexus in the right lane of I-25 on Dec. 16, according to a Colorado State Patrol release from Dec. 17. The four-vehicle crash near Crossroads Boulevard was the result of an earlier incident where a vehicle involved in a medical emergency had to pull to the side of the road for care, according to a Dec. 16 Colorado State Patrol release.<\/p>\n

Two adults and one of the children in the Lexus were transported to the hospital, but the other child in the vehicle, later identified by the Larimer County Coroner\u2019s office as Elijah Manley, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

The box truck pushed the Lexus forward into the other vehicles, a Kia Telluride and a Chevrolet Silverado hauling a trailer.<\/p>\n
