AURORA, Colo. — The Aurora Police Department (APD) is looking for the driver in a hit-and-run crash that left a motorcyclist dead late Friday night.
According to APD, officers responded soon after 11 p.m. to a report of a hit-and-run crash involving a vehicle and a motorcycle at the intersection of North Havana Street and East 1st Avenue.
APD said they found the rider of the motorcycle lying on the road, unconscious. They tried CPR until Aurora Fire Rescue arrived, but the man later died at a hospital, according to police.
Investigators believe the motorcycle was heading south on North Havana Street when a black Jeep made a left turn in front of the motorcycle, police said.
The Jeep was last seen heading west on East 1st Avenue after the crash, according to APD.
The motorcycle rider's name has not been released. That information will come from the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office once he has been identified and his family members have been notified, police said.
