AURORA, Colo. — A woman who was struck by a hit-and-run driver Wednesday evening in Aurora as she crossed the street in a crosswalk has died from her injuries.
The crash happened around 8:15 p.m. at the intersection of East 12th Avenue and North Chambers Road, that's not far from Hinkley High School.
According to the Aurora Police Department (APD), the woman was in the crosswalk headed westbound when the driver of a white truck made a left turn from East 12th Avenue onto northbound North Chambers Road and struck her.
Officers who arrived at the scene found the woman lying in the roadway with life-threatening injuries. She was taken to the hospital, but did not survive, APD said.
The driver of the truck did not stop or render aid. The vehicle and driver had not been located as of Friday afternoon.
On Friday, APD released photos of the vehicle they said hit and killed the woman, which is pictured below. It has a distinct container in the bed of the truck and a ladder on the passenger side, according to APD.
The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office will release the identity of the victim once she is positively identified and next of kin has been notified.
