The second pedestrian hit by a car in Centennial late Sunday night died from her injuries at the hospital, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.
One woman died from her injuries at the scene, and paramedics took a second woman to the hospital with an amputated leg, where she died on Monday, sheriff’s office spokesperson John Bartmann said.
As of Tuesday morning, neither woman had been publicly identified. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office will release their identities and causes of death.
Investigators believe the two women were crossing East Smoky Hill Road near South Waco Street to get to a bus stop when they were hit by a car at about 10 p.m. Sunday, Bartmann said.
The unidentified driver was headed west on Smoky Hill when the driver hit the women, who were not crossing in a designated crosswalk, Bartmann said.
The crash site was near Big Sandy Park in Centennial, about 4 miles east of Cherry Creek State Park.
No additional information on the cause of the crash, including whether drugs or alcohol are suspected to have been involved, was available Tuesday.
The driver stayed on scene after the crash and is cooperating with the investigation, Bartmann said.
