Written by Bradley Smith
Aurora, CO (September 22, 2025) – Police are searching for the driver responsible for a hit-and-run accident that left a pedestrian injured on Sunday night, September 21, in Aurora.
The Aurora Police Department reported the crash happened just before 8:00 p.m. on Havana Street near 11th Avenue. Investigators said a tan sedan or small SUV struck a pedestrian and fled the scene.
Emergency responders quickly arrived and transported the victim to a nearby hospital. Police have not yet released the identity of the pedestrian or details about their condition. Detectives are working to identify the driver and vehicle involved in the incident.
Authorities urged anyone with information about the hit-and-run to contact the Aurora Police Department. The investigation remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the injured pedestrian, and we hope for their full recovery.
Pedestrian Accidents in Aurora
Pedestrian accidents are among the most dangerous types of roadway incidents in Colorado. When a car strikes a person, the victim has no protection against the force of the vehicle. Even at lower speeds, these collisions often cause catastrophic injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord damage.
Hit-and-run crashes, like this recent one, add another layer of hardship. Victims and families face not only physical injuries but also the emotional distress of knowing the driver fled.
In many cases, victims must deal with medical bills, lost wages, and long recovery times without immediate answers about accountability.
Some common causes of pedestrian accidents in Colorado include:
- Distracted driving accidents – Drivers looking at phones or in-car screens may fail to see pedestrians.
- Speeding – Higher speeds increase both the likelihood of a crash and the severity of injuries.
- Failure to yield at intersections – Many crashes happen when drivers ignore crosswalks or traffic signals.
- Driving under the influence – Alcohol and drugs continue to play a role in serious pedestrian accidents.
- Poor visibility at night – Many hit-and-runs occur after dark, when drivers are less likely to see pedestrians.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may have the right to pursue compensation for medical costs, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering.
