DOUGLAS COUNTY, CO : Aurora man killed in pedestrian crash on I-25 on Monday, 10th December 2018

The Colorado State Patrol is seeking details regarding a crash that occurred early Monday morning on I-25 that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old man from Aurora.

CSP officials have asked for assistance from individuals who may have been in the area or unknowingly involved in the incident.

According to the report, investigators responded at approximately 4:14 a.m. to southbound I-25 near mile marker 172 (Lakespur). The report indicates that a 19-year-old male, from Aurora, was near the west edge of the highway when, for reasons still unknown, he stepped into the lane of traffic directly in front of a 2015 International box truck that had been driving in the right lane.

The freight vehicle struck the man, which sent the victim into the left lane of southbound I-25. Officials believe the victim was then struck by a second vehicle that either hit or ran over the man. The International truck, operated by a 23-year-old man from Denver, stayed on the scene and waited for police to arrive. The second vehicle involved fled the scene. The driver of the International vehicle was not injured while the pedestrian was declared dead on scene.
