How they died
Other
El Paso County sheriff's Deputy Quinlan Linebaugh, 29, was driving west in his patrol car around 1:30 p.m. when he tried to pass two vehicles. Linebaugh made it around the first other and was passing Perry and Dorothy Wuerfeles' 2008 Lincoln pickup when a dump truck traveling in the opposite direction swerved to avoid the deputy's cruiser and crashed head-on with the Wuerfeles. Kenneth, 75, died in the crash, and Dorothy, 71, died shortly after being taken to a hospital. Linebaugh was fired and convicted of two counts of careless driving resulting in injury.
