DENVER — The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has deactivated a Medina Alert after a vehicle left the scene of a crash that left two people in the hospital and caused a closure on Interstate 25.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes of I-25 at Yale at 5:50 p.m. Saturday.
Denver police explained that the subject of the Medina Alert turned out not to be the vehicle they're looking for. Police are now working to get a description of the actual vehicle.
Medina Alerts are named in honor of Jose Medina, a 21-year-old valet driver who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2011. They're issued following hit-and-run crashes where someone is seriously hurt or killed.
Police said no one was killed in the three-vehicle crash, but two people were taken to the hospital and the southbound lanes of I-25 were shut down for hours.
