Car Recorded Driving About 50 MPH Down Boulder County Bike Path; Sheriff Seeks Tips

The Boulder County Sheriff released video to identify the vehicle and says the case highlights where cars can access the US 36 Bikeway.

Overview

  • A vehicle was captured on video driving down the US 36 Bikeway near Davidson Mesa at an estimated 50 miles per hour, a sheriff’s office statement says.
  • The sheriff’s office released the footage to the public and asked for tips to identify the car or driver, providing a tip line at 303-441-4444.
  • Officials say there were no reports of injuries and no walkers, joggers, or bikers appeared to be on the path at the time of the incident.
  • Investigators describe the car as possibly a black Infiniti coupe with pink or red fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror and say it is unclear where the vehicle entered the path, noting a scenic-overlook turnoff as a possible entry point.
  • The agency is continuing its investigation and said the episode underscores gaps in separation between the bike path and adjacent Highway 36 that could allow motor vehicles onto the trail.
