Update:

The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) has issued a correction Wednesday about a fatal rollover crash on I-25 Tuesday night.

Troopers now say only one person was killed and not two as was previously reported.

The single-vehicle crash happened at approximately 10:48 p.m. north of County Line Road. 

Trooper say a blue GMC Yukon was northbound when it drifted off the side of the road toward the center median.

Investigators say the driver overcorrected, causing the Yukon to roll.

The driver of the Yukon, Lauren Jewel, 19, of Colorado Springs was transported to Penrose Hospital with moderate injuries.

The front passenger, Whitney Jewel, 21, of Colorado Springs was pronounced dead on scene.

The back seat passengers, Thomas Jewel, 16, and Merritt Jewel, 13, of Colorado Springs were transported to Penrose Hospital with serious and moderate injuries respectively.

All occupants of the GMC Yukon were using seat belts at the time of the crash.

Troopers say alcohol and/or drugs are not suspected as contributing to the crash.
