A man struck by multiple vehicles while crossing Tower Road late Thursday night, including two that reportedly left the scene, has died from his injuries, according to the Aurora Police Department.
Just before midnight on Thursday, Aurora officers responded to reports of a pedestrian down in the roadway after witnesses found a man, 23, lying in the crosswalk along the Unnamed Creek Trail at the 2700 block of South Tower Road.
The witnesses reported that two vehicles may have hit the man and left the scene. It is unclear if he would have survived his injuries if the first driver had stopped and sought assistance. A third vehicle also hit the man, but that driver stopped and is cooperating with the investigation.
Officers found no indications that alcohol or drugs were a factor. It isn’t known whether the pedestrian had the right of way or what the traffic signal indicated at the time of the accident.
The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office hasn’t released the man’s identity yet. Anyone with information is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
This is a developing story that may be updated.
