30 years ago – December 7, 1984
A fatal car accident on November 30 claimed the life of a Boulder man. The accident occurred on a curve on Highway 119 at mile post 17, approximately 10 miles north of Black Hawk. According to the report prepared by Technician Lyle Wohler of the Colorado State Patrol, the man was traveling south on Highway 119 in a 1983 Mazda. He was driving an estimated 45 mph in a 40 mph zone. The Mazda went off the right side of the road, striking the guardrail. The car traveled a distance of 91 feet into the opposite lane of traffic and collided with a 1980 Eagle. The man was not wearing a seatbelt at the time. All of the passengers in the Eagle were wearing their seatbelts. No one in the Eagle was seriously injured. Undersheriff David Martinez stated that upon arrival at the scene of the accident, he attempted to find the Boulder man’s pulse, but was unable to.
Paul Felton, Street & Water Commissioner, enthusiastically commented on Monday that “the water plant is doing wonderful.” As of November 29, the water plant in Black Hawk started operating on a sufficient basis. Water for Black Hawk residents is now supplied only through the plant in Black Hawk and water from Central City is no longer necessary.
