AURORA | An unidentified woman was killed Sunday afternoon during a four-car crash in southeast Aurora that police say was likely the result of a speeding driver.
Police said an unidentified man driving a Ford Mustang with a female passenger was westbound on East Quincy Avenue at about 4:30 p.m. when his car crashed into an Infiniti SUV driven by a woman turning left from Quincy to South Uravan Street.
Police said the driver came over a hill “at a high rate of speed” when the collision occurred.
The woman in the Infiniti died at the scene of the crash, according to Aurora police spokesperson Agent Matthew Longshore.
The man and woman in the Mustang were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries sustained in the crash.
“Speed is suspected to be a major contributing factor, and charges will be pending with further analysis and a crash reconstruction,” Longshore said.
Two other cars were damaged during the crash, but no one inside those cars were injured, police said.
The death marks the 12th traffic fatality this year in Aurora.
