DENVER — The Denver Police Department (DPD) is pursuing criminal charges against two drivers accused of running into the same bicyclist as he tried to cross a street Friday night before leaving the scene.

Police said the driver of the Dodge, a juvenile male, was cited Saturday for investigation of failing to report an accident, careless driving resulting in serious bodily injury – vulnerable road user, leaving the scene of an accident, driving without a valid license and driving without proof of insurance.
The driver of the Nissan, 45-year-old Gregory Gomez, turned himself in to police Saturday and was arrested for investigation of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, according to DPD.
