On
December 30th at about 6:12 PM, Aurora Police and Fire responded to the
intersection of S. Chambers Rd and E. Belleview Ave for a crash.
Responding
units found that a Toyota van and a Lincoln SUV had collided in the
intersection. The van was occupied by two people and the Lincoln had one
occupant. They were all transported to local hospitals. The
passenger of the Toyota died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.
Investigators
from the Aurora Police Traffic Unit are working to determine the cause of the
crash. At this time it appears that the Toyota was traveling south on
Chambers and the Lincoln was turning left from northbound Chambers onto
westbound Belleview. The investigation will focus on determining which
vehicle had the right-of-way. Neither speed nor intoxication appear to be
factors in the crash.
The
identities of the people involved are not being released at this time.
The Arapahoe County Coroner may release the identity of the deceased at a later
date.
