Car Plunges into 8 Feet of Snow

Emergency crews have rescued two people after their car fell 120 feet down Vail Pass into 8 feet of snow. Authorities were called for help Wednesday after a car lost control and went through a guardrail and over the edge of the pass. Crews worked more than two hours to rescue the victims, who were trapped in the vehicle. The two people were taken to the hospital, where they were reported in serious condition.

Pot Growers Dodge Bullet

Colorado Marijuana growers avoided being singled out in an agriculture tax measure that advanced today.  The bill codifies tax practices for greenhouses and nurseries, which are considered agricultural property and not commercial property in most cases. That makes them eligible for lower property taxes. The sponsor of the greenhouse bill proposed an amendment to say marijuana growing sites can't qualify. But a Democratic Senate committee rejected the amendment.  Without the marijuana amendment, the Senate Finance Committee approved the bill 5-0.  It awaits a vote by the full Senate.
