Friends Mourn Camden Warren After Fatal Denver DUI Crash

“I pinched my skin to see if life was still real,” said Manny McMillan, a friend of Camden Warren.

The sentiment captures the shock felt by a community following a multi-car collision in Denver that claimed the life of Warren, a 25-year-old mother and hair stylist, KRDO reported.

Denver police allege that Matias Lopez, 25, ran a red light and crashed into a vehicle traveling north on Colorado Boulevard. Lopez now faces charges of vehicular homicide and driving under the influence in connection with the crash.

Warren was a passenger in the vehicle operated by Lopez at the time of the collision.

Friends and colleagues are struggling to process the sudden absence of a woman they described as a constant source of positivity.

“She’s always a good, like, handful of joy, you know? Always looked at things the best,” McMillan said, noting that he never heard anything negative from her.

Alyssa Black, another close friend, described Warren as a “huge light” in the lives of everyone she met.

“She was always happy. Always happy and supportive,” McMillan added.

The loss is particularly heavy for those who worked alongside her in the hair industry, where her presence was a staple of the daily environment.

Black noted that Warren’s life was defined by her devotion to her five-year-old son.

“The realization that now her son is going to grow up without his mom, I think, is the biggest difficulty for us to all grieve,” Black said.

Warren was known within her professional circle for her ability to balance her career with motherhood, often bringing her son into the hair shop.

“She would bring her son into the shop every day. My other coworkers had their kids there too. It was like a little daycare,” McMillan said.

Beyond her role as a mother, Warren was an accomplished driver who frequently participated in events at Pikes Peak International Raceway.

For those who knew her, the reality of the accident remains difficult to accept.

“It’s one of those things, you know, when you lose someone, especially someone who you’ve been close with, you wake up, and it feels like it shouldn’t be real,” Black said.
