A 29-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident involving death in a Denver hit-and-run crash that killed a man changing a tire on the shoulder of Interstate 25.
Marisol Infante was arrested and booked into the Downtown Detention Center on Thursday morning, court records show.
Denver police say Infante was driving a black Toyota 4Runner on southbound I-25 on Saturday morning when she hit 52-year-old Carlos Mercado Arzola, who was changing a tire on the right shoulder between West Sixth Avenue and West Alameda Avenue.
Arzola died from multiple blunt force injuries at the scene, according to the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.
Infante was charged with driving under the influence in a separate case after she was arrested by University of Colorado Boulder police on May 8, court records show. The case is pending in Boulder County District Court.
She was previously charged with a DUI in Boulder County in 2021 and pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired as part of a plea deal.
She was also cited for careless driving in Boulder County in February, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of operating an unsafe or defective vehicle.
