On March 18th, 2019, Patrol Officers from the City of Aurora responded to a 2 vehicle collision at the intersection of E. Iliff Ave., and S. Tower Rd. It was determined that the at fault vehicle, being driven by an adult female, was eastbound on E. Iliff ave., and failed to stop for a red light.
The at fault vehicle was then hit broadside by a vehicle traveling north on S. Tower Rd, which was being driven by a 56 year old male, in generally poor health. This male was transported to a local hospital with a fractured pelvis.
On 04/03/19 the 56 year old male died at the hospital. The Arapahoe County Coroners office was notified and began their investigation, as did the Aurora Police Traffic Investigation Unit. On 04/15/19 the Aurora Police Department was notified by the Coroners office that the decedent died as a result of complications of injuries sustained in the crash.
The original charges issued to the at fault driver will be amended accordingly.
Speed and / or impairment do not appear to be a factor in this investigation.
No further information will be released at this time.
