El Paso County, Colorado – The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) is reaching out to the community for help identifying a pedestrian who was found with obvious serious bodily injury on Highway 94 on the evening of October 9.
According to CSP, a trooper patrolling westbound Highway 94 around 8:30 p.m. noticed an adult male walking directly in the roadway north of Schriever Space Force Base. The trooper observed that the man appeared to be seriously injured and, seeing no vehicle or other mode of transportation nearby, stopped to make contact.
The trooper provided immediate assistance, and the injured individual was transported to a local medical facility for treatment. No vehicle was involved, and the cause of the man’s injuries remains unknown.
What CSP is asking from the public
The patrol is asking anyone who was in the area between 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on October 9 to come forward with any observations. Specifically, CSP wants to know if anyone saw the man walking, witnessed an accident, or noticed any suspicious activity that could explain his condition.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Colorado State Patrol and reference case number VC250371. Tips can be submitted via the CSP tip line or online portal, which are listed on the agency’s website.
Why community help matters
Public‑safety agencies often rely on eyewitness accounts to fill gaps in investigations, especially when no vehicle or other obvious cause is present. By gathering local observations, CSP hopes to determine whether the pedestrian’s injuries resulted from a fall, an assault, or another incident that may have gone unnoticed.
Residents are reminded that providing accurate, timely information can aid law‑enforcement efforts and potentially prevent future incidents on this busy stretch of highway.
