A pedestrian was fatally struck Wednesday night by an Adams County coroner investigator driving to the scene of a shooting in northwest Aurora, police said.
The coroner investigator was headed to a shooting in Aurora that killed a man and sent a teenager to the hospital when they crashed into a pedestrian near the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Scranton Street, according to a news release from the police department.
The crash happened at about 10:52 p.m. Wednesday, roughly 3 miles away from the fatal shooting in the 3100 block of Ursula Street, police said.
Investigators said the pedestrian crossing Colfax was not in the crosswalk at the time of the crash.
Aurora officers who responded to the crash provided first aid until paramedics arrived to take the unidentified man to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries. He will be identified by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.
The crash investigation is ongoing, but police said they don’t believe speed was a factor.
