UPDATE | June 18, 2026 — Sage Valentine, 20, was sentenced to six years in prison in connection with this crash, which killed Cynthia “Cindy” Myers, 64, of Littleton.
Valentine was driving 60 mph when she crossed into opposite traffic on Highway 93 in Jefferson County, hitting two vehicles before colliding head-on with Myer's car.
"Evidence collected through the investigation revealed Valentine had consumed alcohol the previous night while visiting an acquaintance in Boulder and had not slept before driving to work early that morning," a press release reads.
Valentine's BAC was estimated to be between .095 and .143 at the time of the crash.
At sentencing on Monday, family members described Myers as a beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, who “would light up any room she was in and make friends everywhere she went.”

A multi-vehicle crash closed Highway 93 from Table Mountain to 58th Avenue for several hours Thursday morning, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said.
Four vehicles were involved in the wreck just before 6:15 a.m. Thursday, according to Colorado State Patrol (CSP), and three people were taken to a nearby hospital.
One of those individuals was pronounced deceased at 10:48 a.m. at a local hospital, CSP said.
The Jeffco Sheriff's Office asked drivers to avoid the area to prevent heavy traffic build up. The sheriff's office directed northbound traffic to Highway 58 onto McIntyre or Easley Road, and southbound traffic to W. 58th Ave. Denver7 Traffic Expert Jayson Luber also recommended drivers to take McIntyre down to 44th Avenue to get back into Golden.
Highway 93 reopened more than five hours later, the sheriff's office announced at 12:19 p.m. Thursday.
CSP is investigating the crash.
