DENVER — A teen has been arrested in connection with a fatal rollover crash on I-225 from late March, a spokesperson with the Aurora Police Department said Friday.

The passenger of that vehicle, a 15-year-old girl, died hours after the crash. Three others were taken to a hospital with injuries, according to police.
The teen, who is not being identified by investigators because he is a minor, was booked into the into the Aurora Jail on charges of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and two counts of motor vehicle theft. He has since been taken to a youth detention center, a spokesperson said.
