Two people were found dead inside a burned out car that was discovered on its top in a Weld County ditch. Late last night, the Weld County Sheriff's deputies were called to the intersection of WCR 96 and WCR 57 on a report of a burning vehicle. The Nunn Fire Department put out the fire.

The only two passengers in the vehicle were declared dead at the scene. Due to the excessive damage to the vehicle, this will most likely be a prolonged investigation as they attempt to identify the individuals involved and investigate the cause of the accident. The Weld County Coroner is conducting a full investigation.
