A traffic crash at East 14th Avenue and North Colorado Boulevard sent four people to the hospital Friday, as Denver Police confirmed serious injuries in a collision involving two motorists. Officers warned nearby drivers to expect delays while they worked the scene.
The Denver Police Department posted its alert about the crash at East 14th Avenue and North Colorado Boulevard at 7:19 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, writing that it was investigating a crash that “resulted in serious injuries involving two motorists,” according to Denver Police Dept.
The post noted that four parties were transported to a local hospital, though the agency did not release details on their conditions or identities.
Denver Police did not specify what caused the crash or which vehicles were involved. The department also did not say how long the resulting delays were expected to last or whether any roads had been closed in connection with the investigation.
Why Denver Police Issue Crash Alerts
Not every collision in the city prompts a public notice from police. The department says it only issues a Crash Alert “if at least one involved person sustains serious injuries or the crash results in road closures,” per its own stated policy. That threshold explains why this particular intersection crash drew an official alert while countless minor fender-benders across the city each day do not.
The department also pointed residents toward Denver's Open Data Catalog for broader traffic crash data, a resource separate from the agency's Vision Zero dashboard. The City and County of Denver provides a Vision Zero dashboard.
Same Intersection Saw a Hit-and-Run Months Earlier
This is not the first time the crossing at North Colorado Boulevard and East 14th Avenue has drawn police attention. Back on June 7, a separate crash occurred at around 3:13 a.m. at the same intersection, as reported by Denver7. In that incident, police said a white or silver SUV traveling east on 14th Avenue struck a motorcyclist who was crossing the intersection, causing serious injuries, the outlet reported.
Police said the driver in that June crash fled the scene without stopping or leaving information required by law, according to the same Denver7 report. Investigators said the suspect vehicle might have moderate to severe damage to its front passenger side. There is no evidence connecting that earlier hit-and-run to Friday's crash, and the two incidents remain separate matters as far as the available reporting shows.
For now, Denver Police have released no further findings on Friday's crash, including the specific vehicles involved or the conditions of those hospitalized. The department's advisory to drivers to expect delays in the area was the only guidance issued as the investigation got underway.
