AURORA | An unidentified man crossing Colfax outside of a crosswalk in Aurora Friday night was struck by a car and killed, police said.
Rescuers were called to the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Espana Street in northwest Aurora at about 9 p.m. after reports of an injured man lying in the street.
“The preliminary investigation indicates the pedestrian was crossing East Colfax Avenue outside of a designated crosswalk when an eastbound Kia Soul struck him,” Aurora Police spokesperson Agent Kristopher McDowell said in a statement. “The driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.”
The injured man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
Police are investigating whether driver speed or impairment were an issue in the crash.
The identity of the pedestrian will be released later by coroner officials.
