One person was killed after a motorcycle crashed into a sedan near Aurora’s Fitzsimons neighborhood Sunday afternoon, the third fatal motorcycle crash in the Denver metro since Friday night.
Officers responded to the crash after a motorcycle headed north on North Peoria Street crashed into a sedan turning left from northbound North Peoria Street onto westbound East 23rd Avenue, according to the Aurora Police Department.
The motorcycle driver, a man, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The motorcycle’s speed is believed to be a factor in the crash, Aurora police said in a news release.
The man will be identified by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
