Mother, two toddlers identified in fatal Morgan County off-road vehicle crash

A 22-year-old mother and her two young children were killed in a crash between an off-road vehicle and a pickup in Morgan County on Wednesday.

Destiny Mena and her sons Benjamin and Isaiah were passengers in a Polaris RZR that ran a stop sign and crashed into a pickup truck about 3:30 p.m Wednesday at the intersection of County Road C and County Road 31, 20 miles south of Brush.

Mena, Benjamin, Isaiah and the 22-year-old driver, who has not been identified, all died in the crash. The pickup driver was seriously injured, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

Mena and her sons were identified in a verified GoFundMe created to raise money for their funeral expenses. State Patrol officials said one of the boys was 2 years old and the other was 1 year old.

“Our family is trying to wrap our heads around this sudden and shocking loss, we are asking for support to cover funeral costs and lessen the financial burden of not only having to lay one loved one to rest but three,” organizer James Medina wrote on the page.
