Man killed in head-on crash

Aurora Police said one of the drivers was going the wrong way down North Airport Boulevard when the crash happened early Saturday.

AURORA, Colo. — Police are investigating a crash in Aurora early Saturday morning that left one man dead.

The Aurora Police Department (APD) said officers responded to calls of a head-on crash on North Airport Boulevard just south of East Colfax Avenue at around 4:30 a.m.  

Their initial investigation revealed a black Smart car was going north in the southbound lanes of Airport Boulevard when it collided with a gray Subaru Outback that was heading south. 

The drivers of both cars were taken to the hospital. The man driving the Smart car died. The man driving the Subaru had minor injuries. 

Police said the investigation is ongoing, but intoxication may have been a contributing factor in the crash. 

The name of the driver who died will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office.

Any witnesses, or anyone with dash cam footage who hasn't already spoken with police, is asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
