[09-03-24] Aurora Family Without Car After Alleged Hit-And-Run

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — A family is without their car, and their tree is damaged after what appears to be a hit-and-run that was caught on camera at an Aurora home.

On Saturday, a doorbell camera video caught a red truck crashing into a tree on Ironton Street, at a home the family said has already been victim to other crimes, including break-ins.

“We came out and we saw the tree knocked down and the car was backing up,” said Norma Escobedo, the daughter of the victims. “He took off, and all the neighbors came out. They were trying to chase him down, but he just was speedy.”

Remnants of the truck could still be seen in the yard Monday afternoon. Escobedo said the truck hit their car as well, likely totaling it, but no one in their household was injured.

“We’re really disappointed. We were scared because we were like, ‘What if we were right here?’ Because my girls usually come and usually play here in the yard. Good thing they were not outside, because you never know what could have happened,” said Escobedo. “At least it’s the tree, at least no one got hurt, no victims you know.”

The Aurora Police Department told FOX31 that the red truck likely has noticeable front-end damage.

“We are thankful that no one was injured in this crash. We hope to identify anyone involved and hold them accountable,” said Agent Matthew Longshore with Aurora police.

CAR ACCIDENT STATISTICS

Car accidents happen all too often in the United States. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, the number of traffic deaths nationwide surged in the first nine months of 2021 to 31,720. The number was 12 percent higher than the same period in 2020 and the highest nine-month figure since 2006.

The bustling streets of Denver are a hotbed for possible car accidents. Arterials such as Colfax Avenue and Federal Boulevard are some of the deadliest roads in Denver and unfortunately provide many opportunities for potentially serious car accidents.

Following the nationwide trend, Denver car accidents have also been on the rise. According to an analysis from Denverite, traffic fatalities had reached an all-time high in 2021 with 84 people dying in traffic crashes last year. This had surpassed Denver’s 2019 record of 71 people. One of the ways the city is trying to cope with these figures is by reducing the speed limit in residential areas from 25 to 20 MPH. This so-called “20 is plenty” ordinance has been lauded by safer streets activist groups such as The Denver Streets Partnership who see this as the right direction. With only 20% of total traffic accidents happening on roads with speed limits of 25 MPH or less, time will tell if this ordinance will have the desired effect.

There are many different types of car accidents, but multi-vehicle accidents are one of them. When two or more cars come together, accidents like this happen all the time. You have a good chance that three vehicles will be hit when two vehicles hit each other.

A variety of factors caused these collisions. Distracted driving, speeding, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, driving in bad weather, driving the wrong way, and failing to obey traffic laws are examples of dangerous behaviors.
