The Colorado Sun | McDonald’s E.coli outbreak linked to Colorado death
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you this morning. The Sun has been awarded a $1.4 million grant from the nonprofit American Journalism Project. You can read our full announcement here.
This is not only a tremendous vote of confidence in The Sun from a respected national funder, it’s confirmation of the trust you have placed in The Sun as readers, members and donors over the past six years. We built this nonprofit for you, Colorado, and with your continued help we’re now aiming to expand our news coverage around the state because there are so many important stories that deserve to be told.
We’re grateful for the support so many of you have given us, and we’re thankful for AJP’s help, too. Today’s grant doesn’t get us over the finish line. However, it does pour rocket fuel into our engines for this amazing journey we have charted together. And if you’re not already a member or donor, today would be a great day to climb aboard!
Thanks, Colorado.
POLITICS & GOVERNMENT
Democrats need just one more seat to gain a supermajority in the state Senate. But, they have to defend their supermajority in the House, where several incumbents are facing close races — including some in Republican strongholds like Colorado Springs. Brian Eason has more.

Police in Northern Colorado are investigating after a crash involving multiple vehicles claimed the life of a pedestrian.
The Greeley Police Department received reports of a crash at the 5500 block of Highway 34 around 5:50 p.m. on Monday. When officers arrived, they discovered that two vehicles were involved in a crash with a 19-year-old woman who attempted to walk across the highway.
Police said there was no crosswalk in the area, and she was struck by the driver’s side of a Chevrolet Blazer. The impact knocked the woman into the inside lane, where she was struck by a Chevrolet Traverse. A witness told officers they saw the woman crossing the roadway ‘as traffic arrived at her location.’
First responders attempted life-saving measures on the woman at the scene before she was taken to North Colorado Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. GPD said the Weld County Coroner’s Office will release her identity at a later time.
Neither driver involved was injured in the crash. Police said they don’t expect charges to be filed against those drivers at the moment, but the case remains under investigation. The police department asked anyone with information on the crash to contact Officer Ed Kubala at Edward.Kubala@greeleypd.com.
