Here is a guide on what you should do if you are involved in a car crash.
A Fossil Ridge High Student is fighting for her life more than a week after she was injured in Jeep crash along with five other teens.
Rielle Artis, the 17-year-old daughter of Gabe and Kim Artis of Fort Collins, remains at Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland in an induced coma after suffering a traumatic brain and other injuries from the June 1 crash.
The crash occurred at 7 p.m. when a 2003 Jeep Wrangler driven by a 15-year-old failed to negotiate a turn near Larimer County Road 3F and Signal Tree Drive, just south of the Timnath Town Center building, according to Colorado State Patrol.
All of the teens were transported to area hospitals with minor to life-threatening injuries.
None of the teens, four from Fort Collins and two from Timnath, were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
Drugs and alcohol were not a contributing factor in the crash but speed is a possible cause, according to CSP. The road has a posted speed limit of 25 mph.
CSP said the crash remains under investigation.
Kim Artis said the family is asking for prayers for Rielle, who will be a junior at Fossil Ridge.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money for hospital and other ongoing medical expenses, as well as other living expenses incurred. As of late Tuesday morning, more than $26,000 had been donated.
