While Denver dealt with slushy streets and snow on tender buds, the Colorado high country and foothills fought a winterlike battle with road closures, fender benders and heavy tree damage Sunday.Two law enforcement officers were injured in separate accidents as they helped motorists Sunday night, according to the State Patrol.
A Jefferson County sheriff's deputy was injured along with three others when an SUV struck his cruiser that was parked on the side of U.S. 285 near the community of Doubleheader just after 7 p.m. None of the injuries were thought to be life-threatening, according to the sheriff's department.
The cause of the crash was under investigation, but weather is likely a factor, said sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.
