BRIGHTON, Colo. — Police in Brighton are asking for the public's help identifying a driver who left the scene of a crash that seriously injured a pedestrian. 

The Brighton Police Department said in a release that on Friday night at around 7:15 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of North Main Street/County Road 27 and County Road 2 1/2 on reports of a pedestrian being struck by two different vehicles. 

When officers arrived, they found a 22-year-old man in the roadway with severe injuries. Police said their preliminary investigation revealed that the man was walking when he was hit by a driver who then left the scene. A second driver who did not see the man on the road also hit him but stayed at the scene, according to police.
