AURORA, Colo. — A man and child are dead after a rollover crash in Aurora Friday evening.
The crash happened around 6 p.m. at the intersection of South Havana Street and East Exposition Avenue.
According to the Aurora Police Department, two vehicles were involved in the crash, and one of the vehicles rolled.
A 2017 Dodge Charger was driving north on South Havana when it struck a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was driving southbound on Havana and attempting to turn left onto eastbound Exposition Avenue.
The impact from the crash pushed the Jeep approximately 100 feet north into a drainage retention wall before coming to rest in the northbound lanes of Havana Street. The 43-year-old driver and a 5-year-old passenger were fatally injured in the crash and died at the scene.
Two more passengers of the Jeep, ages 8 and 10, were taken to a local hospital for treatment of unknown injuries. They are expected to survive.
The driver of the Charger, a 21-year-old man, also was taken to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries. His condition was unknown late Friday night.
Investigators suspect speed and drug intoxication are contributing factors to the crash. The crash remains under investigation.
