An 18-year-old woman tragically died after being struck by a vehicle while crossing the 5100 block of East 64th Avenue in Commerce City, Colo. The incident occurred on Friday, and it was revealed through a Facebook post by Commerce City police that the pedestrian may have been at fault for crossing where there was no marked crosswalk. The driver involved, an underage individual with a learner’s permit, initially left the scene but later returned with their parents. Police determined that the driver was not speeding or impaired at the time of the crash.
Authorities have not released the identity of the victim, but the family has set up a GoFundMe to assist with memorial expenses. Charges against the driver, which may include driving without a license and leaving the scene of an accident, could be brought forth by the Adams County District Attorney’s Office. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
