Tragedy struck on Friday night in Aurora as a woman lost her life in a fatal crash on Smoky Hill Road. The Aurora police department was alerted to the incident at around 8:30 p.m., when they received reports of a motorcycle crash at the intersection of Smoky Hill Road and Tufts Avenue. This location is just south of Quincy Avenue.
According to a statement released by the police department on social media, the woman, who has not yet been identified, was unable to maintain control of her motorcycle and collided with the guardrail. The force of the impact caused her to be thrown from her motorcycle, and she tragically succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
Investigations by the police revealed that the woman had been travelling at a high speed at the time of the crash. It was also determined that there were no other vehicles involved in the incident. This was a single-vehicle accident.
Various news outlets have reported on the crash, highlighting the dangers of reckless driving and the impact it can have on innocent lives. Similar incidents have occurred in the past, such as the fatal motorcycle crash in Denver where one person lost their life. Another incident on Havana Street resulted in one death and two injuries due to a collision between an SUV and a motorcycle.
In a separate incident in Thornton, an Adams County man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a hit-and-run crash. These occurrences serve as a reminder for all drivers to exercise caution and responsibility on the road. Even trains are not immune to unexpected accidents, as an Amtrak train recently hit a person on the tracks just west of Granby.
The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the woman who passed away in the Aurora crash at a later date. In the meantime, Smoky Hill Road was closed in both directions for several hours on Friday night to facilitate the investigation, causing disruptions for commuters.
