Aurora Police traffic investigators announced they have arrested a suspect after a woman was killed early Friday while trying to cross the road near a bus stop in a hit-and-run crash that forced the closure of Havana Street.
Police arrested Marcos Ortega-Lopez, 31, on suspicion of leaving the scene of a fatal crash, a felony, according to an agency posting on social media Friday afternoon.
But police haven’t located the vehicle involved — a 2007 blue Toyota Corolla (license plate CYXB39) with front-end damage — and appealed to the public for help via Aurora911, 303-627-3100 or @CrimeStoppersCO (720-913-STOP).
The crash occurred at about 5:15 a.m. near the intersection of Havana and East 4th Way. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, Aurora Police Department spokesman Matt Longshore said.
“She was crossing the street, over Havana. It was a hit and run,” he said.
The police at first weren’t certain about the vehicle involved because of conflicting reports.
