As of Dec. 11, the Glenwood Springs Police Department is officially known as the Chief Terry L. Wilson Police Administration Building.
Wilson, who began his law enforcement career as an animal control officer worked his way to Chief before retiring Feb. 1, 2020 after 35 years of service.
“When I came here last January I found out very, very quickly that I had some very big shoes to fill,” said new Glenwood Springs Police Chief Joseph Deras. “He was part of this department for a very long time and as I go around the community I hear about all of the things he had done.”
Two semi-trailer trucks collided early Friday morning in Glenwood Springs, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Authorities were dispatched to the westbound lane near the West Glenwood Springs exit around 3:30 a.m. after a Saia Covenant semi truck hauling two trailers jackknifed, causing one of the trailers to tip over before colliding with a FedEx semi hauling two trailers, said Master Trooper Gary Cutler.
No significant injuries were reported.
According to Cutler, the FedEx truck was driving in front of the Saia truck when the incident took place. He said the driver of the FedEx truck received a citation.
Cutler said he didn’t know the exact cause of the accident; however, he suspected inclement weather to be a factor.
