(September 19) The Aurora Police Traffic Section is investigating a fatal crash that claimed the lives of two adults early this morning in northeast Aurora.
On September 19, 2021, at approximately 12:35 a.m., the Aurora Police Department responded to a report of a crash near the intersection of East 38th Avenue and North Windsor Drive. Upon arrival, officers found two occupants inside of a Chevrolet Malibu. Those two individuals, only being identified as adults, were pronounced deceased on scene. Additionally, a Chevrolet Cruz was also located, and that driver was transported to the hospital with injuries sustained in the crash.
Aurora Police Traffic Investigators believe the Chevrolet Cruz was traveling eastbound on East 38th Avenue. The Chevrolet Malibu was making a left-hand turn from North Windsor Drive to go westbound on East 38th Avenue. The Cruz then collided with the Malibu.
Aurora Police Traffic Investigators believe that the Cruz was traveling at a high rate of speed prior to the collision. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were also contributing factors. This remains an active investigation and no charges have been filed at this time.
The identity of the driver and passenger of the Malibu are not being released at this time. The Adams County Coroner's Office will release their names once positive identifications has been made and their next-of-kin have been notified.
