The Aurora Police Department responded to the crash, located near South Parker Road, around 6:15 AM. Upon arrival, police found that three vehicles were involved in the collision.
The APD determined that a Dodge Charger was driving south in the northbound lanes of I-225. The Charger hit a Chevrolet Silverado’s passenger side and continued traveling into oncoming traffic. The Dodge then collided head-on with a Mazda SUV.
