AURORA, Colo. — A 68-year-old man man died of his injuries after a crash Sunday evening in Aurora, according to police.

The Aurora Police Department (APD) responded to the crash at 5:05 p.m. at East 18th Avenue and Chambers Road, according to an APD press release.

According to APD's initial investigation, a Ford Ranger was turning left from westbound 18th onto southbound Chambers when it was struck by a Dodge truck, the release says.

The driver of the Ford Ranger was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries, police said. On Jan. 29, the Adams County Coroner's Office identified the driver as Ronald Lee Braun of Aurora.

Drugs and alcohol weren't thought to have contributed to the crash, but speed was possibly a factor, APD said.

The investigation into the crash was ongoing.
