The man charged with injuring four first responders after driving into a crash investigation while drunk pleaded guilty to multiple counts of assault Wednesday, according to court records.

Benjamin Winters, 24, was charged with five counts of assault: vehicular assault while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, vehicular assault related to reckless driving and three counts of third-degree assault on a peace officer, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to all counts on Wednesday.

Winters was arrested with a $10,000 bail on Dec. 7 after he allegedly drove around police barriers and hit two South Adams County firefighters and two Commerce City police officers who were investigating a DUI crash on westbound Interstate 76.

Officers were directing traffic to the right shoulder when Winters tried to drive on the left shoulder around the blockade, hitting a cable guard rail and two firefighters before continuing westbound and injuring two police officers and hitting a police vehicle, according to the arrest affidavit.

One firefighter was taken to the hospital with a head injury and a broken leg. The other firefighter and two officers were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Winter will return to court for his sentence hearing on Aug. 9.
