A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded on Highway 83 in Douglas County, Colorado, where five people — including three children — were killed after a man on parole crashed a stolen vehicle into oncoming traffic. The violent collision has shaken the local community and ignited outrage over Colorado’s parole and supervision system.
The Crash
Authorities confirmed that 31-year-old Walter Huling, who was on parole at the time, was driving a stolen vehicle at high speed when he lost control, rolled over, and crossed into the opposite lane. His vehicle slammed into a family traveling northbound, killing everyone inside.
The victims were identified as:
- Alvin Corado, 35
- Toretto Corado, 8
- MaKenlee, 11
- Jase Green, 12
All were Colorado residents. The family had been traveling together when the crash occurred, leaving a community devastated by the sudden loss of four young lives and a father.
Driver Identified as Parolee With Criminal History
Huling also died at the scene. Officials reported that he had a lengthy criminal history and was on active parole when the crash happened. His actions — driving a stolen vehicle at high speed — have intensified anger and raised serious questions about parole oversight and public safety.
Families in the area, along with leaders in the Hispanic community, have voiced their frustration and grief, insisting that this was a preventable tragedy.
Community Mourning and Outrage
Vigils, memorials, and online tributes have poured in as residents struggle to comprehend the magnitude of the loss. Community advocates have emphasized that the Corado family was beloved and deeply rooted in the area, describing the tragedy as “unimaginable” and “catastrophic.”
Many are demanding accountability from the state, asking how someone with a documented criminal record and a stolen vehicle was still able to pose such a danger on public roads.
“This family should still be alive,” one community member said. “Something in the system failed them.”
State Officials Reviewing Parole Procedures
Colorado authorities have launched an investigation into the crash, including a review of parole supervision protocols, the timeline of events leading to the vehicle theft, and the oversight of individuals with repeated offenses.
State lawmakers and community leaders have pledged to push for reform, vowing that the deaths of the Corado family — including three young children — will not be ignored.
A Call for Change
The tragedy has become a rallying point for calls demanding:
- Increased parole monitoring
- Stronger accountability measures
- Better inter-agency coordination
- Improvements in preventing high-risk offenders from endangering the public
Many hope that meaningful change can emerge from the heartbreak, honoring the memory of Alvin, Toretto, MaKenlee, and Jase.
