Three people killed when jeep goes off Colorado cliff during tour

Three people were killed while on a tour of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains.

Tourists Diana Robles, 28, and Ofelia Figueroa-Perez, 60, and tour driver Don Fehd, 72, died when their jeep went off the cliff and fell 100 feet, before rolling down another 100 feet on Monday, according to the New York Post.

The jeep went over the edge of Ouray County Road 361, according to the Montrose Daily Press.

Police said the bodies of the two tourists were found in the car, which was on its roof.

Robles, a nurse, had just taken a picture of the Imogene Pass, the second-highest drivable pass in Colorado.

It’s a rugged route by four-wheel drive up to Imogene Pass, said an old Sun travel story.

Figueroa-Perez was Robles’s aunt, according to a Facebook post.

“We know they are in the merciful hands of our Lord as they themselves being nurses had healing hands in every life they touched,” Diana Figueroa wrote on Facebook.

Fehd worked at Colorado West Jeep Rentals and Tours, where he was known for his “quirky, genuine way” with his passengers, according to the Ouray County Plaindealer.
