Sheriff’s deputies have closed the eastbound lanes of East Arapahoe Road at South Dexter Street in Centennial after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a driver Monday morning.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said the driver of the vehicle that hit the pedestrian remained on scene and is being cooperative. Traffic is being diverted on to South Dexter Street and the eastbound lanes of East Arapahoe Road are expected to remain closed until at least 9 a.m.
It’s not clear from the sheriff’s office post on X what caused the collision but a photo that was posted on the social media platform shows a road that is partially covered by snow.
A snowstorm that hit the metro area Sunday night and into Monday morning led to multiple road closures in and around the area.
