Aurora police search for hit-and-run suspect in deadly motorcycle crash
Aurora police are searching for a hit-and-run suspect in a crash that killed a 65-year-old man riding a motorcycle more than a week ago.
The crash, which occurred around 6:15 p.m. on Aug. 9, happened at Dayton Street and East 12th Avenue, located in northwest Aurora, according to an Aurora Police Department news release.
Authorities are searching for the driver of a 2003 Subaru Forester, which, at the time of the crash, was traveling eastbound on East 12th Avenue.
Police said the Subaru disobeyed the stop sign and hit the motorcycle.
The motorcycle rider, who sustained serious injuries from the crash, died three days later in the hospital, according to police.
The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office identified the motorcycle rider as Harvey Davis, 65, of Aurora.
After the crash, the driver then fled the scene and abandoned the car a short distance away, where police impounded it, according to the police.
Police shared photos of the vehicle, asking anyone if they are familiar with it.
Those who recognize the Subaru are asked to contact the APD Traffic Investigations Unit through Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
