    An Arvada man took a deal and pleaded guilty this month in a fatal 2024 Aurora hit-and-run on Interstate 225, according to court records.

    Arapahoe County District Court Judge Darren Louis Vahle sentenced Brian Vondersmith, 38, on Friday to 12 years in prison for leaving the scene of an accident involving death, court records show.

    Vondersmith pleaded guilty to that charge, a felony, in a deal that dropped four additional charges from his case: manslaughter, reckless driving, first-degree assault with extreme indifference and vehicular homicide, according to court records.

    Aurora police officers responded to the fatal I-225 crash near Sixth Avenue shortly before midnight on Oct. 20, 2024, according to the department.

  • 9 taken to hospital after I-225 crash in Aurora

    [ad_1]

    Nine people were taken to the hospital Friday night after a seven-vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 225 in Aurora that closed the highway several hours, police officials said.

    The crash happened on I-225 near Parker Road at 10:24 p.m., Aurora police said on social media. Police initially reported the crash involved nine vehicles, but later revised that to seven vehicles.

    While nine people were taken to the hospital, only one had serious injuries, spokesperson Matthew Longshore said Saturday.

    Investigators believe the crash happened when one driver, a 17-year-old boy, failed to yield to other vehicles that were slowing down for a separate crash.

    The teen hit “numerous” vehicles and injured himself and a teen passenger, Longshore said. He was arrested on an outstanding felony warrant when he was released from the hospital and was also cited for the crash.
