6 injured in 2-vehicle crash at 120th Avenue north of Denver

South Adams Fire Rescue urged drivers to avoid the area of 120th Avenue and Potomac on Thanksgiving afternoon and evening after a two-vehicle crash left six people injured. The crash forced law enforcement to close the road during the crash investigation and cleanup. 

Several first responders were on the scene of the crash that involved a Jeep and Ford Escape. Investigators with the Colorado State Patrol confirmed to CBS News Colorado that the Jeep was traveling on Potomac and disregarded a traffic control device entering the intersection. That's when the Jeep's front end struck the side of the Ford. 

The driver and passenger were ejected from the Jeep and rushed to the hospital for potential critical injuries. The driver, passenger and two children in the Ford were rushed to the hospital with unknown injuries. 

120th Avenue was shut down in both directions in that area during the crash investigation and cleanup.
