Two cars hit a pedestrian Saturday night on Interstate 225 in Aurora, and the man later died from his injuries, police said.
Aurora officers responded to the crash on northbound I-225 near Parker Road at about 11:15 p.m. Saturday, according to a news release from the police department.
Paramedics took one victim, an unidentified 62-year-old man, to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
He will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.
The man was attempting to cross the highway’s northbound lanes from east to west in heavy traffic when he was hit by a vehicle and run over by a second, police said.
Both drivers remained on scene after the crash.
Investigators do not believe speed or alcohol were factors in the crash.
Northbound I-225 was closed for roughly 2 hours overnight during the crash cleanup and investigation, reopening at about 2 a.m. Sunday, police said.
