AURORA, Colo. — Police are investigating a crash in Aurora that killed two people, including a child Friday evening.
The Aurora Police Department said the crash happened at 6 p.m. when Jeep tried to turn left onto eastbound Exposition Avenue from Havana Street. A Dodge Charger going north on Havana as the southbound Jeep tried to turn.
The impact from the crash sent the Jeep about 100 feet north into a drainage retention wall before it came to a stop in the northbound lanes of Havana.
A 43-year-old man and a 5-year-old child in the Jeep were killed in the crash, police said. Two more children in the Jeep, ages 10 and 8, were taken to the hospital and were expected to survive.
The 21-year-old man driving the Dodge was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and police didn't immediately have an update on his status.
Investigators suspect speed and intoxication were contributing factors in the crash, but didn't specify which driver.
Northbound Havana was closed for more than four hours while officers investigated and reopened around 10:15 p.m.
The crash remains under investigation. The victims will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office.
