At least one person died and several others were hurt Saturday morning when a pickup truck veered onto a sidewalk during an annual bicycle festival in Colorado, authorities said.

The Chevrolet pickup left the roadway and drove onto a crowded sidewalk around 11:45 a.m., hitting multiple pedestrians before crashing into a tree in Old Town Fort Collins, according to Fort Collins Police Services.

Investigators do not currently believe the pedestrians were deliberately targeted in the devastating Fort Collins crash, police said.

Six people, including the driver, were taken to the hospital with a range of injuries. Officials had not immediately released details on their conditions.

One victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was later pronounced dead, Fort Collins Police Services said.

“This was a tragic day for many in our community,” Fort Collins Police Chief, Jeff Swoboda said in a press release. 

“We recognize the impact that this incident will have on those involved, the witnesses, and the responders,” Swoboda said, adding that “victim advocates are supporting those involved in what happened today.”

“I’m appreciative of the quick response of our officers, the assistance of our emergency partners, and the community members who helped during this incident,” the chief said. 

The fatal crash took place less than a mile away from the Tour de Fat bicycle parade, which draws in large crowds annually to the area, according to 9News. 

Police said there were numerous bystanders and patrol officers in the area at the time of the collision because of the event.

The FCPS Collision Reconstruction and Scene Handling Team are investigating the circumstances leading up to the fatal collision — including if impairment was a factor. 

An initial investigation determined that the truck driver reversed from a parking spot on Mountain Avenue and struck another vehicle. 

The truck then drove forward onto the sidewalk, striking multiple pedestrians before colliding with a tree and coming to a stop. 

Authorities closed the site of the crash for around six hours while investigators worked the scene. 

The Post reached out to FCPS but did not immediately hear back.

Spencer Pratt, the reality TV personality who once floated a run for Los Angeles mayor, compared mothers who kill their children to a dangerous pit bull that has lost control and should be euthanized.

Pratt made the remarks after a New York judge found Dimone Fleming, 22 at the time of the deaths, not guilty of killing her two young sons in November 2022 by reason of mental disease or defect.

Prosecutors and Fleming’s attorney agreed that Fleming, now 26, was experiencing postpartum psychosis when the children were killed.

The same postpartum psychosis defense has been raised by Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy in the closely watched case involving the alleged murders of her three children.

‘When a pit bull kills a kid, we exterminate them,’ Pratt wrote Saturday on X. ‘Theres [sic] no judgment behind it: we know it’s an impulse they couldn’t control.’

‘But we also recognize that if your impulses lead to you killing kids, you need to be removed from society,’ he continued.

Pratt finished: ‘Judgment aside, you just cannot be trusted and you need to be locked away forever. As a parent…if you kill your kids, your life is over anyway, so IDK what we are doing here.’

Conversations around postpartum psychosis have intensified in the wake of Clancy’s highly publicized trial.

Postpartum psychosis afflicts roughly one to two per 1,000 women after delivery, per the Cleveland Clinic.

Fleming was accused of stabbing her sons, 11-month-old Octavius Canada and three-year-old Daishawn Fleming, before submerging them in a bathtub at the Bronx shelter where they lived.

Like Clancy, Fleming had been receiving treatment for depression and anxiety before her respective children’s deaths, per court records obtained by the New York Times.

Fleming was working at a concession stand in Queens and living in a shelter in the Mount Hope neighborhood of the Bronx with her sons.

She had been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and prescribed psychotropic medication by doctors.

Fleming was instead using marijuana on a daily basis, which in turn amplified her symptoms.

Psychiatrist Dr Eric Goldsmith, who evaluated Fleming at the prosecution’s request, wrote in a report that she was ‘grossly psychotic and out of touch with reality’ on the night her sons were killed.

Goldsmith reported that the mom-of-two was hallucinating, believed the world was coming to an end and that a spirit had invaded her body.

A forensic psychiatric report written by doctors from the defense said Fleming thought her actions ‘were necessary to protect or cleanse her children.’

Prosecutors did not aggressively seek to convict Fleming, who had originally been charged with first-degree murder.

Tiffany Wichman, a Bronx assistant district attorney, said that ‘prosecuting mothers does not and cannot prevent these crimes from happening, but public discourse might.’

‘People talking about it is important, and I hope people continue talking about it,’ Wichman said.

Fleming’s lawyer, Jodi Morales, called the result of the case ‘a result of collaboration.’

‘Everybody recognized what we were dealing with here,’ Morales said. ‘That doesn’t happen often when you’re on opposite sides of the table.’ 

Going forward, Fleming could be held at a high-security hospital for an initial six months. That would be extended indefinitely if her condition does not improve.

If doctors find her to be mentally ill but not dangerous, she could also be sent to a more open hospital for further evaluation.

Fleming could also be discharged if she is found to be mentally fit. However, the court would likely place conditions on her freedom.

In Clancy’s case, prosecutors have insisted that she intentionally planned the killings of her children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, on January 24, 2023.

Clancy’s defense has argued that she suffered from postpartum psychosis when she killed her three kids and then unsuccessfully tried to take her own life. She remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility. Both sides agree that she strangled her children.

The killings happened less than three weeks after Clancy was discharged from a psychiatric hospital.

She had also been prescribed more than a dozen psychiatric medications across different health providers. 

The 12-person jury began deliberating Thursday afternoon. First-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter charges can all be considered.

On Friday, they asked to see the knife that Clancy used to try to take her life, as well as bags of pill bottles found in her home.

Judge William Sullivan allowed them to go home for the weekend after they failed to reach a verdict.

Deliberations are scheduled to continue on Monday at 9am ET.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Pratt for comment.

In Columbia, South Carolina, a Saturday morning shootout involving a man with a lengthy arrest history left one police officer dead and a second officer injured, authorities said.

The officers had been dispatched shortly after 9:30 a.m. to a home for a domestic dispute call. A woman told police that a man she had a restraining order against was inside her residence and damaging property.

Police said the man had already left by the time officers reached the home. About an hour later, they located him, and the encounter escalated into what authorities described as a “gunfight.”

“Our hearts are broken this evening,” Columbia police Chief W.H. “Skip” Holbrook said at a news conference later Saturday. “We gather under the worst of circumstances you could possibly imagine. We’re deeply hurt.”

Holbrook added, “It’s with heartbreak and sadness that I inform you that one of our officers has succumbed to his injuries.”

Officer Christopher DeLong, 29, had been with the police department for two years and leaves behind a wife and two young children, Holbrook said.

“Our thoughts and prayers are first and foremost with Officer DeLong’s family, his loved ones and friends and coworkers,” he said.

The second officer, David Dymock, is in stable condition, Holbrook said, adding, “our prayers are with him as he continues to recover from wounds sustained during the gunfight.”

The suspect, identified as Adam Tyler Dowdy, was also killed in the gunfight.

Dowdy had a series of arrests for disorderly conduct, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, contempt of court, public intoxication, possession of a controlled substance and probation violations, Holbrook said.

Holbrook added that Dowdy may have been out on bond for battery in Georgia.

“We’re still trying to verify that preliminary information,” he said. “He has a history of several arrests that span through the following states: South Carolina, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Georgia.”

He asked for people to pray for the DeLong family “to have strength as they navigate this unimaginably difficult time.”

Holbrook said he had already gotten condolences from every law enforcement agency in the region as well as South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster.

“I’m saddened by the tragic loss of Officer Chris DeLong of the Columbia Police Department,” U.S. Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., wrote on X. “Officer DeLong answered the call to serve and protect us all, and he lost his life in the line of duty this morning. My prayers are with his family, friends, and the Columbia Police Department. I’m also praying for Officer David Dymok, who was injured while serving and protecting our community. We’re hoping for his quick and full recovery. Law enforcement officers are heroes who protect us every day. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their service and sacrifice.”

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the shooting.

A 13-year-old boy was stabbed in broad daylight outside a Bronx supermarket on Saturday, leaving him injured as police launched a search for the attacker, sources said.

The stabbing happened at about 5:23 p.m. outside the C-Town supermarket at 1612 Westchester Avenue in Soundview, where the teen was knifed in the stomach, according to police sources.

EMS crews rushed him to Jacobi Hospital on Pelham Parkway following the assault. He was listed in stable condition, sources said.

At the scene, blood was visible on the concrete sidewalk as officers blocked off the area in front of the store during the investigation.

No arrests had been made, and police were still searching for the assailant, according to sources.

The heinous attack comes days after a New York City Schools employee was stabbed to death by an lunatic who had 13 prior arrests.

NYC Department of Education Paraprofessional Rashaun Shettlewood, 32, was fatally stabbed in the chest and his 33-year-old friend was stabbed in the torso by the brute in another daytime attack in the Bronx at Davidson and West Tremont Avenues in Morris Heights at 3:30 pm.

The men were transported to St. Barnabas Hospital where Shettlewood succumbed to his injuries, his friend was in stable condition, police sources said.

It was unclear what led to the attack, but police source said it stemmed from a dispute.

The alleged stabber, Jeffrey Jorge, 37, of Brooklyn, was arrested the following morning after cops spotted him wielding a knife at Ocean Avenue and Parkside Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.

He was charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter and two counts each of assault and criminal possession of a weapon, according to the NYPD.
