George Fromm, 64, of La Salle and his wife Lisa Fromm, 42, both suffered minor injuries in the crash and were treated at the scene.

A 53-year-old woman from Grinnell , Kan. , died in the collision, and the driver of the other vehicle, James F. Calhoun, 46 of Claflin , Kan. , sustained serious injuries and was transported to the Kit Carson County Hospital in Burlington . The name of the woman who died has not been released, and neither has the medical condition of Calhoun.

The collision occurred about 4 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 70, about two miles east of Seibert, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

Reports from the scene stated Fromm was driving an International moving truck and pulling a car hauler and car. The truck apparently struck the back of the 1962 Studebaker, driven by Calhoun. The car rolled, throwing out both the driver and passenger. The truck overturned on its side.

Troopers said both of the Fromms were wearing their seat belts and suffered only minor injuries, The people the Studebaker were not wearing seat belts and both were ejected.

Hi, I am so sorry I sent e-mails out about Jim Calhoun this morning with out talking to the people at the sourse off the situation, I know not to do that- with that being said!!!!!! I called Chris a bit ago she tells me about the accident Jim and Kay were in. Cris tells me that it was a beautiful sunny day Jim was going out to pick up some music equipment they had Kay meet him at Grinnell to give her a graduation gift ( she had gotten a masters degree a couple weeks ago) she wanted to ride along with him. Jim said he was going to pick up the equipment and go to North Platt from there but she hated that Jim didn`t have a cell phone and insisted so they headed to Denver.A vehicle went to pass them and caught the left side of the bumper Jim fell out onto the pavement Kay stayed in the car, the Highway Patrolmen feel she died right away. With Chris`es permission now I have straightened this out and again I`m so sorry. They have a long rough road ahead but they are young and strong with our prayers they will be okay. Jim has several broken bones he was in surgery this morning having the right leg operated on. Lue
