A Brighton man has been charged with vehicular homicide and child abuse resulting in death in a Commerce City crash that killed his daughter last week, according to a news release from the Adams County District Attorney’s Office.
Aaron Aguirre-Garay, 40, was driving his truck on Interstate 76 on Feb. 12 when he crashed into a fence, injuring himself and killing his daughter, according to an arrest affidavit from the Commerce City Police Department.
Aguirre-Garay was charged with child abuse causing death, vehicular homicide – reckless and vehicular homicide – DUI in the crash, according to the district attorney’s office release. The affidavit and the release do not specify how old the girl was.
Multiple witnesses saw Aguirre-Garay driving on a dirt shoulder off the road before his truck veered toward a fence, possibly because of a popped tire, according to the report. One witness saw the white truck swerve several times before the crash. Another person who went over to the vehicle after the crash spoke to Aguirre-Garay and said he smelled like alcohol. Witnesses found the girl lying on the ground outside the truck.
In an interview with police, Aguirre-Garay slurred his speech and smelled of alcohol as he told officers he didn’t know what happened in the crash, adding that he believed someone rear-ended his truck, according to the affidavit. He said he didn’t remember if his daughter was wearing her seat belt.
Aguirre-Garay told police he had been drinking earlier that day but didn’t clarify exactly how many alcoholic beverages he consumed, with his answers ranging from two to four cans of beer. He denied a field sobriety test and a blood alcohol test, the affidavit stated.
When police contacted the girl’s mother, she said she had just spoken to her daughter, who said at the time she “was done with practice.” The girl was attending a “league program practice” at Regis University, according to the report.
Aguirre-Garay, who was released from Adams County Jail on a $100,000 bail, will appear for a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. March 9 in Adams County District Court.
Julius Bernstein, who was convicted of three counts of vehicular manslaughter in a fiery crash that killed a mother and her two daughters, is sentenced before Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Zachary James at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building in Miami, Florida, on Friday, January 23, 2026. The crash occurred on the 79th Street Causeway on June 27, 2022.

Samir Saidi, the husband of the woman and two girls who were killed in a fiery crash in 2022, detailed how he struggles to sleep at night because thoughts about his family’s final moments run in his mind.
“There is not one single day that I haven’t cried for my loss,” Saidi said on the stand, adding that he wishes he could have done something to save the lives of his wife, Cynthia Orsatelliz, and daughters Sofia, 15, and Maria, 12.
On June 27, 2022, Julius Bernstein, 27, was speeding at nearly 100 mph on the 79th Street Causeway in North Bay Village when he rammed his Dodge Charger into a car turning left from the eastbound lanes at Harbor Island Drive. After the crash, Bernstein jumped out of his car and ran. He hadn’t had a driver’s license since 2016.

Bernstein sat quietly as he was sentenced on Friday afternoon to 45 years in state prison followed by 10 years of probation by Miami-Dade County Circuit Court Judge Zachary James. In September, a Miami jury found Bernstein guilty of three counts of vehicular homicide as well as other charges linked to the fatal collision. The sentence is 15 years per count of vehicular homicide.
“What a beautiful family. So full of life, so full of promise… torn away by a vehicle that this defendant turned into a bullet,” James said before announcing the sentence.
Bernstein will get credit for the three years that he has served behind bars in Miami-Dade. A month after the wreck, he was taken into custody by federal agents in North Carolina.
Bernstein was stoic as the family recounted their suffering, wiping their tears. After their impact statements, he stood up and spoke briefly, the rattle of chains echoing in the courtroom.
He apologized.
Bernstein’s attorney, Dustin Tischler, had requested a 25-year sentence, citing a history of mental-health and substance-abuse issues. Prosecutor Laura Adams, however, sought a life sentence under a sentencing enhancement because Bernstein is a “habitual violent felony” offender. At the time of the crash, Bernstein was serving three years of probation for a slew of convictions, including for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and fleeing law enforcement, Florida prison records show.
Bernstein, Adams argued, annihilated a family when he got behind the wheel.
A never-ending grief
Saidi said he met Cynthia in 1995 when they were studying together — and quickly became inseparable.
“She was my rock, my support,” he said, sniffling. “God blessed us with a … very comfortable life.”
The couple were also blessed with two daughters, he said: Sofia, who was passionate about writing and often embarrassed him by saying words he wouldn’t know, and Maria, who loved cooking shows and told him she wanted to become a chef.
“I thought that there would come a day that there is a book that had Sofia’s name on it or a restaurant that Maria would be so proud of being the main chef,” Saidi said.

The girls, Saidi said, were the “most beautiful souls, angels,” and he can’t forgive Bernstein because they, along with their mother, were casualties of Bernstein’s sheer recklessness.
Omar Orsatelliz, Cynthia’s brother, said his sister — who was the oldest daughter of their five siblings — was like a mother to him. She guided, protected and shaped him into who he became.
“As a brother, I grieve for her every day,” Orsatelliz said. “As an uncle to Maria and Sofia, I grieve for the lives that never got to unfold. I’m not the same person I was before that day and neither is our family.”
Orsatelliz said his father — the girls’ grandfather — suffered a stroke around the anniversary of the crash last year and now requires constant care. Orsatelliz said he believes the stroke was brought on by his father’s heartache.
“This tragedy did not end on the day of the crash,” he said. “Its consequences continue to uphold. Family gatherings are quieter. Holidays and birthdays feel incomplete. Ordinary days are filled with reminders of who was missing and what has been taken from us.”
Family attorney Omar Saleh said outside the courtroom: “This is just a small piece of closure to this horrific family tragedy.”
Now-retired Miami-Dade Det. Wanda Milian, who investigated the wreck, said the emotional impact of the scene was “unlike anything I had previously encountered.”
Milian broke down as she testified about how Bernstein launched a barrage of obscenities at her. Bernstein’s erratic behavior, the officer said, was something that she had encountered only two other times in her 17 years as a detective.
“It is said that law enforcement will always remember their first case and their last,” the detective said. “This case, my last, will always remain [with me.]”
One person died and several others were injured in an early Sunday morning crash on U.S. 85 in Brighton, police said.
The crash happened at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, near the intersection of U.S. 85 and Weld County Road 2.5, according to a news release from the Brighton Police Department.
A Ford SUV driving westbound on the county road ran a stop sign and was hit by a GMC SUV traveling northbound on U.S. 85, police said in the release.
Two people inside the Ford were ejected, and two others fled the scene on foot, police said.
One of the people ejected from the Ford died at the scene of the crash, and paramedics took the other to the hospital with serious injuries, according to the release. Paramedics also took an unspecified number of GMC passengers to hospitals.
Investigators believe the victim killed in the crash, who has not been publicly identified, may have been hit by a third vehicle on the highway. The unidentified driver left the scene of the crash, police said.
The victim will be identified by the Weld County Coroner’s Office at a later date.
Brighton police found the two Ford occupants who fled the scene on foot shortly after they ran, according to the release. One was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.
The other, 20-year-old Erik Diaz Olivas, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, DUI, reckless endangerment, failing to display proof of insurance, driving on a revoked license, leaving the scene of an accident, vehicular assault, failing to obey a traffic control device and possessing alcohol as a minor, police said.
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact investigators at 303-655-8740.
A father and son were arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide after Lakewood police say they caused a crash while street racing that killed two people.
Gregory Mark Giles, 65, and Bryce Anneaus Giles, 26, turned themselves in to the Lakewood Police Department on Monday night and were arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, engaging in a speed contest and reckless driving, agency officials said Tuesday.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Arapahoe County jurors convicted a 31-year-old man of vehicular homicide and reckless driving for a 2024 Aurora crash that killed a 71-year-old woman and severely injured her husband, the district attorney for the 18th Judicial District announced Tuesday.
Taylor Marcus Douglas is facing a maximum six years in prison when he is sentenced on January 16.
The crash occurred around 3:30 p.m. on April 15, 2024, at the intersection of S. Chambers Road and E. Center Avenue. Investigators found, using data from Douglas’ vehicle, that he was driving nearly 100 mph in a 40 mph zone before t boning the couple’s SUV as they left a dialysis center.
Douglas, driving a Nissan Altima, initially told police he was going only 55 mph and was unable to stop in time. However, witnesses reported the Altima was weaving through traffic moments before impact.
“This tragedy was entirely preventable,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Eckhardt said in a press release. “Mr. Douglas chose to drive at nearly 100 miles per hour on a busy Aurora roadway, and that reckless decision cost an innocent woman her life and left her husband with devastating injuries. Our community deserves accountability, and this verdict reflects the jury’s careful consideration of the evidence and the harm caused.”
Padden also voiced support for harsher penalties in vehicular homicide cases.
“Every victim and every grieving family deserves a justice system that treats vehicular homicide cases with the gravity it warrants,” Padden said in the release. “My office continues to have productive conversations with legislators to pursue reforms that hold offenders fully accountable for these preventable tragedies.”

A passenger in a sedan racing down East Alameda Parkway early Saturday morning died after the driver lost control and crashed, police said.
Aurora officers responded to the rollover crash just west of South Chambers Road on Alameda at about 12:45 a.m. Saturday, according to a news release from the department.
Police said the BMW sedan was street racing down Alameda from Sable Boulevard when the driver, 19-year-old Edwin Rosales-Sandoval of Denver, crashed on a curve.
The sedan left the roadway, struck a grocery store sign and rolled, police said. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Paramedics took Rosales-Sandoval and a 17-year-old girl in the car to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Another passenger, an unidentified adult man, died at the scene of the crash, police said. He will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.
Investigators believe Rosales-Sandoval was drunk and driving on a revoked license at the time of the crash. The Denver man’s license was revoked after a previous DUI incident, Aurora police said.
Rosales-Sandoval was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, reckless driving, DUI and driving on a revoked license, police said. As of Sunday morning, he was being held on a $75,000 bail.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday for a filing of charges hearing, court records show.
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.
Officers found a downed motorcyclist on the highway, identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office as 38-year-old Matthew Bouchard of Aurora, police said. Bouchard died from his injuries before officers arrived.
Witnesses told investigators that Bouchard and Vondersmith appeared to be racing when Vondersmith swerved his pickup truck into Bouchard’s motorcycle, knocking the motorcyclist into a guardrail.
The suspect in a fatal hit-and-run on the edge of Denver’s 16th Street pedestrian mall abandoned his car and fled the scene on foot, according to court documents.
Milton McBride, 27, allegedly drove through the gate of a Denver parking garage early Sunday morning, hit another vehicle on Market Street and hopped the curb near the 16th Street intersection, according to his arrest affidavit.
When he drove onto the sidewalk, McBride struck a billboard-type sign and pushed it onto the victim, who died at the scene, police wrote in the affidavit.
McBride was arrested Sunday on suspicion of vehicular homicide. As of Tuesday morning, he had not yet been charged, and his next court date had not been set.
Denver officers responded to the fatal crash at 16th and Market streets shortly after 2:15 a.m. Sunday. When they arrived, they found the dead victim and the suspect vehicle, but the driver had fled the scene.
Witnesses told investigators that the driver got out of his vehicle after the crash and left on foot without calling 911 or rendering medical aid, police said.
Officers found McBride roughly 1/5 mile away, in the 1700 block of Wazee Street, at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday, according to court documents.
When they contacted McBride, officers noted his speech was slurred, his breath smelled like alcohol, he was staggering and stumbling and his eyes were bloodshot, according to the arrest affidavit.
McBride was not offered a voluntary field sobriety test because he was immediately detained and, after being positively identified by a witness as the suspect driver, arrested, police said in the document.
Paramedics took McBride to a nearby hospital for blood testing. During that time, he repeatedly told officers that he hadn’t hit anyone and no one had died, according to the affidavit.
The results of the blood test were not publicly available as of Tuesday.
McBride’s license was suspended at the time of the crash, and he had a warrant out for his arrest from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office for a domestic violence and child abuse case, court records show.
McBride previously took a deal and pleaded guilty to DUI and assaulting a police officer in a separate El Paso County case in 2022, according to court records.
The deal dropped multiple drug and weapons charges, another count of assault and a charge for driving without a license, court records show. He was sentenced to 3 years in jail.
Daniel Waterman, 22, was involved in a serious crash that police say was intentionally caused by his girlfriend, 24-year-old Leigha Mumby, eight months before his death.

New charges have been filed against a woman accused of intentionally crashing her car while driving with her boyfriend, leaving him critically injured for months before his death, Florida officials said.
Leigha Mumby, 24, was driving on Interstate 95 in Flagler County with Daniel Waterman, 22, in the front passenger seat on Feb. 9, the night of the Super Bowl, when the car veered off the road and hit a tree, according to an arrest affidavit from the Flagler County Circuit Court.
Emergency services responded and had to extract Mumby and Waterman from the car, with both suffering significant injuries, according to the report.
Mumby was released from the hospital a few days later and told law enforcement she did “not know what had happened prior to the crash and only remembers waking up in agonizing pain,” the report said.
Waterman was in critical condition and was unable to speak with officers until May, when he said the two had been arguing in the car before the crash after Mumby told him that she was pregnant, according to the report. Waterman had also received a message from a woman in New York, and Mumby started to drive recklessly as their argument unfolded, the report said.
Waterman told police Mumby slowed down before speeding to upward of 80 mph and telling him, “I don’t care what happens, you’ll get what you deserve,” and she intentionally drove off the road and into the tree, the report said.
Mumby was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and reckless driving causing serious bodily injury in July, and Mumby was taken into custody, according to arrest reports. Mumby was released on a $30,000 bail.
McClatchy News reached out to Mumby’s attorney Oct. 27 and was waiting for a response.
Waterman’s family said he had been fighting for his life with broken bones, injuries to his spine and collapsed lungs since the crash, according to a GoFundMe post.
Waterman contracted pneumonia in the hospital, his family told WJXT, and he died on Oct. 8 having been transported back home to Syracuse, New York, according to FlaglerLive.
On Oct. 27, an additional charge of vehicular homicide for “operating a motor vehicle in a reckless manner, likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to another, kill Daniel Waterman” was filed against Mumby, according to court records.
Waterman played basketball and football, his family told WJXT, and he was excited to become a father, according to the GoFundMe.
“It’s just so sad. He had his whole life ahead of him,” a family member told the outlet. “I’m never going to see him be a dad. I’m never going to see him be who he was supposed to be.”
Mumby is set to make her next appearance in court on Nov. 19, records show.

The Colorado man charged in the death of four teenagers in a fatal wrong-way crash on the New Jersey Turnpike was drunk when he struck the group’s car head-on, according to court documents.
Christopher Neff, a 41-year-old man from Westminster, was found to have a blood-alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit at the time of the crash, according to an arrest affidavit released to The Denver Post on Thursday.
Police obtained a sample of Neff’s blood from the hospital for testing and found he had a 0.22% blood-alcohol content at the time of the blood draw, investigators wrote in the document. The legal limit for driving is 0.08%.
Several witnesses told investigators that they smelled “the strong odor of an alcohol beverage emanating from Mr. Neff’s breath,” police wrote.
Surveillance videos from multiple businesses in the area captured Neff arriving at the nearby Turnpike Inn at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, police said in the affidavit. He was seen drinking multiple alcoholic beverages and, at one point, urinating outside the bar.
Neff left the bar shortly after 12:30 a.m. Sunday and drove across the street to a truck stop, where he purchased food, police said.
The man then drove onto an exit ramp for the Turnpike, almost colliding with another vehicle, and entered the highway headed the wrong direction, according to videos obtained by investigators. The fatal crash happened minutes later, at about 12:40 a.m. Sunday.
Neff, driving northbound in the southbound lanes, crashed his 2021 Dodge Ram 2500 into a Mazda CX-5, with four teenagers inside, according to the New Jersey State Police. A semitrailer then hit the Mazda from behind.
The crash killed 19-year-old Yaakov Kilberg of Lakewood, N.J.; 18-year-old Aharon Lebovits of Lakewood, N.J.; 18-year-old Chaim Grossman of Fallsburg, N.Y.; and 18-year-old Shlomo Cohen of Lakewood, N.J., police said.
Paramedics took Neff to the hospital with serious injuries, where he remained as of Wednesday afternoon.
When New Jersey officers searched Neff’s pickup truck, they found:
Two rifles, one with an attached suppressor;
A handgun;
A BB gun;
Several high-capacity handgun and rifle magazines;
Hundreds of rounds of ammunition, including hollow points and full metal jackets;
Psilocybin mushrooms, a criminalized hallucinogenic in New Jersey;
And methadone.
Neff faces four charges of aggravated manslaughter, four counts of vehicular homicide and multiple weapons and drugs charges for the items discovered in his truck, according to New Jersey court records.
As of Thursday, he had not been charged specifically with driving under the influence, but investigators said additional counts may be added as the investigation continues. A court date had not been scheduled.
A 28-year-old Denver truck driver was sentenced to 11 years in prison Friday for a deadly Interstate 25 crash that killed a Wyoming family of five.
Jesus Puebla was sentenced to 11 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections by 19th Judicial District Judge Allison Esser, according to court records and the Weld County district attorney’s office.
Puebla was convicted of five counts of vehicular homicide after a jury trial in April for the deaths of Emiliano and Christina Godines, 51 and 47; their son Aaron, 20; his wife, Halie Everts, 20; and their 3-month-old daughter, Tessleigh Godinez.
Puebla also was convicted of vehicular assault, careless driving, reckless driving and two commercial traffic violations.
The crash occurred on northbound Interstate 25 near Colorado 66, and Puebla collided with two other vehicles in the crash. A Greeley man in one of the other vehicles also was injured.
“These families have had to deal with the trauma and this devastating loss every single day,” Deputy District Attorney Yvette Guthrie said in a statement. “Absolutely nothing that this defendant did the day of this tragic crash was an accident. This wasn’t road rage; this was traffic terrorism.”
Puebla’s attorney could not immediately be reached for comment on the sentencing.
James Cooke was driving a 1999 Ford F-150 on East Smoky Hill Road around 4 p.m. Monday when he drove off the road near South Riviera Way and crashed into a tree, according to a Wednesday news release from the Aurora Police Department.
A 46-year-old woman was ejected during the crash and taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. She died early Wednesday morning, Aurora police said.
