AURORA | One man was killed and another injured Sunday night while walking on the shoulder of Himalaya Road in northeast Aurora when the men were struck by a car.
Police said three men were walking south on the shoulder of Himalaya north of East 64th Avenue when the crash occurred.
Two of the three men were struck from behind by a Mazda sedan.
“Both were taken to the hospital — one died from his injuries, and the other remains hospitalized with serious injuries,” police said in a statement. “The driver of the Mazda, an adult female, and the third pedestrian who was not hit, remained on scene and cooperated with investigators.”
Police said they do not think alcohol was a factor in the crash.
The crash marked the 18th traffic-related fatality in Aurora this year.
