Child seriously injured in hit-and-run crash

Little information about the vehicle involved has been released.

AURORA, Colo. — The Aurora Police Department (APD) is looking for a driver who left the scene of a crash that left a young child seriously injured Thursday.

APD tweeted just before 6:20 p.m. that the northbound lanes of Havana Street were closed at East 1st Avenue while officers investigated an auto-pedestrian crash involving a child. 

The driver fled the scene, APD said, and child had serious injuries. The child's condition is considered stable, police said.

APD said the vehicle involved is described as a black or dark-colored sedan that fled northbound on Havana Street. 

The road has since reopened, police said.
