AURORA, Colo. — A woman died and a man was seriously injured in a wrong-way, head-on car crash in Aurora Monday night.

Aurora police responded to the two-car crash in the intersection of South Aurora Parkway and South Southlands Parkway in southeast Aurora at 7:02 p.m. on Jan. 31.

The woman died at the hospital. The man is in critical condition, according to police.

The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the woman after she’s been positively identified and next of kin have been notified.

No further details surrounding the circumstances of the crash were released.
