AURORA | An unidentified woman was killed and her infant child seriously injured after the SUV she was driving collided head on with an RTD bus Thursday evening, ejecting her and her baby from the car, police said.
The woman was driving a Mercedes SUV on East 30th Avenue and East Parklane Drive in north Aurora at about 5:15 p.m. when the crash occurred, police said.
Both the woman and the 1-year-old infant were taken to a nearby hospital, where the woman died from her injuries, according to police spokesperson Agent Matthew Wells-Longshore.
The child was not restrained in the car at the time of the crash, police said.
Officers said the bus driver and two passengers on the bus were also injured during the crash and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Wells-Longshore said vehicle speed and possible intoxication may have been linked to the crash.
Sorry that driver died and infant injured.
Was the driver wearing safety restraints?
The intersection where this happened, not mentioned in the article has an additional issue. The city has placed a concrete round-a-round to replace traffic control signs, this place has one. Not sure how exactly the two vehicles tangled, did the rounding emplacement play a significant part?
