Aurora man, 55, dead after crashing car into tree Wednesday

A 55-year-old Aurora man died Wednesday afternoon after he drove off the road and into a tree, police said.

Officers first responded to the intersection of East Louisiana Avenue and South Dunkirk Street just before 3 p.m. Wednesday, the Aurora Police Department said in a news release.

Investigators determined that a Hyundai Santa Fe driven by the man left the road and collided with a tree, according to the release. Officials did not note any other vehicles involved in the crash.

The northbound and southbound lanes of South Dunkirk Street are closed for the investigation and are expected to remain closed for the next few hours, the department said on social media.

The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office will identify the driver pending family notification and an autopsy.
