* At 5:26 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, Stephen J. Firestone, 55, Cloverdale was traveling southbound in a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on U.S. 231 and stopped at a traffic signal at Stardust Road.

While at the traffic signal, Rosalyn J. Ott, 55, Colorado Springs, Colo. was following behind Firestone in a 2007 Kia Spectra.
