Fatal U-Haul truck crash closes I-225 ramp
The Aurora Police Department said it is investigating a fatal crash Monday morning involving a U-Haul truck.
Officers responded to a call about a single-vehicle crash at 8:12 a.m. Monday at the off-ramp to northbound Interstate 225 from East Colfax Avenue, according to an Aurora police spokesman.
A U-Haul truck with a trailer drove off the right side of eastbound Colfax and struck a sign. The cause of the crash was under investigation, but preliminary information suggested that the driver had a medical episode, Aurora police said.
The trailer was blocking the off-ramp from northbound I-225 to Colfax, and the off-ramp was closed, according to police.
