several eyewitnesses to the 28-vehicle pileup on I-70 in Jefferson County testified in detail Tuesday about the terror they felt when Cuban-born Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos drove his semi-truck into stopped traffic on April 25, 2019, after losing his brakes in Colorado’s high country. Four people were killed.
