AURORA, Colo. — A man and a woman are dead after a single-vehicle crash in Aurora on Sunday, according to the Aurora Police Department.
The crash closed down northbound lanes of Interstate 225 between East Alameda and East Sixth Avenues, APD said.
Three people, two women and a man, were in a Chevrolet Traverse when it rolled over, according to APD. A man and a woman were thrown from the car and died. The third victim in the crash remains in the hospital in serious condition, police said.
Police are still investigating the cause of the crash, but said they believe speed and lack of seatbelt use were factors.
The identities of the two who were killed will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office.
