At around 7:42 p.m., a motorist was driving southbound on North Kalamath Street at West 11th Avenue. The driver, in a Gray Honda Accord Crosstour, struck a pedestrian who was crossing Kalamath, according to a Denver Police Department crime alert bulletin.

The crash resulted in injuries that led to the pedestrian’s death, police said.
