Driver Killed in Aurora Crash After Attempted I-225 Traffic Stop

Police report an ongoing investigation with two detainees hospitalized.

Overview

  • Aurora police say a motorcycle officer conducting speed enforcement on I-225 attempted to stop a speeding vehicle just after 2 p.m.
  • The driver did not pull over, exited at Iliff Avenue, and crashed; the lone occupant of that car was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • Two people from another vehicle were detained at the scene and transported to a hospital, and police have not released their conditions.
  • The officer involved was not injured, according to the Aurora Police Department.
  • Police closed all lanes at Blackhawk Street and Iliff Avenue and urged drivers to use East Jewell Avenue or East Yale Avenue, as helicopter footage showed heavily damaged vehicles and unverified bystander video appeared to show two people being handcuffed.
