Good morning, Pueblo.

Pueblo Police Department said that three vehicles racing after midnight on April 6 led to a crash into a home near South Prairie Avenue in southern Pueblo that caused an engine fire—18-year-old Jaiden Maes was arrested on charges including Vehicular Reckless Assault, Operating an Uninsured Vehicle, Driving Without a Valid License, and Displaying an Expired Number Plate.

A woman was arrested on Sunday after her vehicle crashed into a home on Elmwood Circle near Pueblo Boulevard and Hollywood Drive when police conducting a speed enforcement sweep identified the 18-year-old driver, Jaiden Maes, whose car caught fire—officers safely removed both Maes and her passenger and took them for evaluation before Maes was booked at the detention center.
