SUV Crashes Into Building Near DIA: Two People Evaluated for Injuries

In a startling crash near Denver International Airport, two people were evaluated for injuries after a vehicle drove directly into a residential building on Monday morning. According to the Denver Fire Department, the incident occurred near Yampa Street and Tower Road, in the Gateway–Green Valley Ranch neighborhood.

Fire crews responded to the scene around 10:15 a.m., confirming that the SUV struck the side of a building, causing visible damage to a wall and window area. Officials have not confirmed whether the two injured individuals were inside the vehicle or the building at the time of the crash. The severity of their injuries also remains unclear, and the cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Photos shared by emergency responders show the SUV lodged into the structure, with first responders on site assessing both victims and the extent of the structural damage.

When a Vehicle Hits a Building: Unexpected but Serious

While less common than traditional Colorado roadway collisions, vehicle-into-building crashes are not rare, and they can be just as dangerous. Victims may suffer serious injuries, whether they are pedestrians, residents inside the property, or occupants of the vehicle. These crashes can result from driver error, speeding, medical emergencies, mechanical malfunctions, or even DUI-related negligence.

In neighborhoods like Green Valley Ranch, where homes and pedestrians are close to busy roads, even a brief lapse in attention behind the wheel can lead to devastating consequences.

Who Is Liable When a Car Crashes Into a Building?

Liability in a vehicle-into-building crash can vary depending on the circumstances. In many cases, the vehicle’s driver is at fault, especially if distracted driving, speeding, or intoxication is involved.

However, other parties could share responsibility, including:

• Vehicle manufacturers must determine if a defect or mechanical failure contributed to the crash.
• Employers, if the crash involved a company vehicle or a driver on the job
• Property owners or managers should consider whether poor road design or lack of protective barriers contributed to the severity of the crash.

If you were injured in this type of incident—or if your property was damaged—it’s essential to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to understand your rights and determine whether you’re eligible to pursue compensation.
