The driver of a pickup truck was killed in a “single-vehicle crash” early this morning in Aurora. According to the Denver Post, the crash “happened at about 3:35 AM on East Quincy Avenue near South Pitkin Street.” The blue Dodge Ram “hit a curb, a street lamp pole and a dirt embankment, before coming to a stop upside down.” The truck had Kansas license plates, but the driver did not have identification and has not been identified. It is believed that speed was a factor in the crash, though the incident remains under investigation.
According to the Colorado State (CSP), there were 290 fatal automobile accidents in Colorado in 2008. In 46 of these accidents, speed was determined to be a contributing factor. It is imperative that all drivers obey speed limits and safety signs while on Colorado road ways. The consequences of speeding can be deadly.
