Claim 4: “Two people were killed in a two-vehicle crash involving a go-kart in southwest Denver on Monday afternoon.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence contradicts the claim. While there was a crash involving a go-kart in Denver, the evidence states it occurred on 'Saturday night, May 2', not 'Monday afternoon'. Furthermore, the evidence for a go-kart crash in Meridianville mentions a 12-year-old, but does not confirm two deaths in a southwest Denver crash on a Monday.
