The trial of a Granby driver involved in a multiple vehicle crash that killed a Wyoming couple has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Thomas Lange, 20, who in December pleaded not guilty<\/a> to two counts of careless driving causing death, was set to stand trial May 12-13. However, the trial has been vacated by the court, and Lange is now set for arraignment on May 26.<\/p>\n

The Colorado Supreme Court issued an order prohibiting jury trials through July worried that juries couldn\u2019t be called safely.<\/p>\n

In May<\/a>, Lange was driving a 2002 Ford F-250 on US Highway 40 north of the entrance to YMCA of the Rockies-Snow Mountain Ranch by Red Dirt Hill in Grand County. He was following a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu driven by 20-year-old Gavin Laing of Leadville.<\/p>\n
