A Separate, Fatal Crash at the Same Corner
The intersection of West 10th Avenue and North Sheridan Boulevard has seen tragedy before. As reported by Denver7, a separate hit-and-run at that same intersection left a pedestrian dead after a woman crossing Sheridan Boulevard in a crosswalk was struck by a red Audi sedan that ran a red light while heading northbound. That driver also fled, and the pedestrian, identified only as a woman, was pronounced dead at the scene, Denver7 reported. The outlet noted that the suspect vehicle in that case was located the following Tuesday morning, though the driver had not been found as of its report. Available evidence does not establish any connection between that fatal crash and Tuesday's injury hit-and-run involving the red BMW.
For now, investigators are relying on the public to help identify the driver. Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward through Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
