Two people were killed in separate crashes in metro Denver overnight, including a cyclist in Boulder County, police officials said.
The Boulder County cyclist was killed in a crash at 7:41 p.m. Friday near U.S. 287 and County Road 4, the State Patrol said in a news release.
The crash involved a 50-year-old man driving a 2006 Honda SUV. The cyclist, who was in his mid-20s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators are still looking into what caused the crash, which closed southbound U.S. 287 on Friday night, the State Patrol said.
Several hours later, Denver police responded to a fatal hit-and-run crash after a driver hit a pedestrian near 26th Avenue and Federal Boulevard, the agency said on social media at 10:29 p.m.
The Denver Police Department initially reported the crash involved a motorcycle rider, but clarified on Saturday afternoon that the victim was a pedestrian.
The crash closed Federal Boulevard in both directions. Anyone with information about the suspect or their vehicle can contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
