AURORA, Colo. — A man who was trying to run across Interstate 225 in Aurora has died after he was hit by at least three vehicles on the roadway near East Mississippi Avenue late Monday, according to the Aurora Police Department (APD).
Police received several 911 calls about the crash in the southbound lanes of the highway around 10 p.m. Monday.
A preliminary investigation found that the victim was running west to east across the lanes of the highway, nearly under the overpass of East Mississippi Avenue when he was hit.
All three drivers have been identified and are cooperating with the investigation, according to APD.
Drugs, alcohol, or speed do not appear to be factors at this time.
While officers investigated what happened, the southbound lanes of the highway were closed at the Mississippi exit. All lanes reopened just after 2 a.m. Tuesday, according to a tweet from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
