A man was killed in a two-vehicle crash in Aurora early Sunday morning, according to the police department.
The crash happened on Chambers Road near East 38th Avenue at about 1:30 a.m., according to the police department. The driver of a Ford F-250 truck was driving south on Chambers Road when the vehicle struck an Infinity I30 sedan that was making a left turn from the Interstate 70 off-ramp onto Chambers Road.
The truck broadsided the sedan, killing the sedan’s driver. The truck then went off the road and down an embankment. The truck’s driver and a passenger, both men, survived with minor injuries.
Aurora police Sgt. Faith Goodrich said in a news release that “intoxication” may have contributed to the crash. The investigation is ongoing. The man who died has not been publicly identified.
