AURORA, Colo. — Aurora Police is asking for the public's help in finding the driver involved in a suspected hit-and-run crash that left one man dead on Christmas Day in northwest Aurora.
Around 1:20 a.m. Monday, Aurora police officers responded to a report of a man down near the intersection of Yosemite St. and E. Colfax Ave. Upon arriving to the scene, police said they found an unidentified man who had life-threatening injuries. He was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
The Adams County Coroner’s Office will identify him after identification and notification to next-of-kin.
