The Denver Police Department, following a hit-and-run incident on Friday evening, called on the public to help locate a gray 2015 Ford Mustang, believed to be involved in a collision with a pedestrian. According to Denver7, the collision occurred near S. Santa Fe Drive and Interstate 25. The victim was immediately rushed to a local hospital with serious injuries, prompting a Medina Alert and a temporary closure of the southbound I-25 ramp at Santa Fe Drive.
The search for the vehicle went statewide after the Colorado Bureau of Investigation broadcasted the car's details through highway signs across Colorado. As reported by CBS News, the Mustang was located shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday, and Denver Police confirmed they had the vehicle in possession and were in contact with its driver, although, it remains unclear whether the driver is in custody.
The Denver PD initiated the appeal for assistance via social media at 12:30 a.m., urging witnesses or anyone with information about the gray Ford Mustang, which inflicted serious injuries to the pedestrian on its fateful trajectory near the busy interchange to step forward. This Medina Alert, a statewide call to action, proved its worth when the suspect vehicle was finally tracked down in Parker, as detailed by 9NEWS. The driver, identified as a woman, was contacted by the authorities. No arrests had been made at the time of the update, and the investigation is reportedly still active.
