Csp officers said that Dickson, who was also killed in the crash, exposed officers after the Sheriff office of the Weld County Sheriff was present. A passenger in her car that was not publicly identified also died in the crash.

The sheriff of Weld by Weld County, Steve Reams, said by explaining that his deputy had tried to cover Dickson's car after noticing that it had a stolen plate. At this point it is not known when the car itself was stolen because the VIN number was destroyed when the crash was fiery.

CSP that leads the investigation, said the MP persecuted the vehicle after Dickson had not stopped. At this point, Dickson reports on the Highway 85 into oncoming traffic and grazed the vehicle from black.

The Weld County's office, however, refused to use the word “persecution” to describe what led to the crash and cited the need for further investigations. Rather, the Sheriff's office described the actions of the deputy as the attempt to “move” the vehicle.

Agencies across Colorado have different definitions of employment that can determine whether they are approved in different jurisdiction or not. Almost all law enforcement agencies in Colorado have a list of criteria that you have to meet in order to begin vehicle persecution to limit the risk with which such a chase can threaten the public.

Weld County refused to ask further interviews about the investigation at that time and said that they still collect the details of what has led to the collision.

In the meantime, the North Valley Middle School was closed on Thursday to Monday, while schoolchildren and employees mourn the loss of black. The district commissioned psychiatric specialists and served to support those who needed help to mourn the loss of the popular teacher.

“It is difficult to lose an employee at any time. I think that the way this has happened is only tragic,” said Kimberly Bloemen, superintendent of the Weld-Re-1 schools.

Bloemen said that many students and employees adopted the collision and had gone nearby to a pre -planned art exhibition.

“I was stuck in traffic and came across the scene of the accident, but at the time it didn't know that it was one of our employees,” said Bloemen.

Bloemen rejected it to continue discussing the legacy of Schwarz at this time, and quoted the wishes of the family to tell more about their lives when they feel comfortable.

In the meantime, Bloemen said that this tragedy only underlined its concerns with the security of the Highway 85.

“Safety has always been a problem. There is a lot of traffic and people have high speeds,” said Bloemen. “We are a rural district, so our buses run on this highway all the time.”

Weld Re-1 serves three small cities, all of which are mainly connected to the Highway 85.

“You see a lot of accidents all the time,” said Bloemen.

Weld County's office said you will continue to update the community as soon as you have a better understanding of what happened exactly before the collision.

Until then, Bloemen said that she hoped that you will continue to dialogue with the local law enforcement authorities to see how you can better make sure that the street is not only more secure for its students and employees, but also for the public as a whole.

“It is a significant concern, and one that I have heard of families a lot since the accident,” said Bloemen.
