A man accused in a hit-and-run accident that killed an 8-year-old boy riding in a go-cart pleaded not guilty Monday in the case, according to the Jefferson County district attorney’s office.
Sean Christopher Daniels of Westminster faces a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
Prosecutors say Daniels was driving a pickup that struck a go-cart carrying Quinton Von Duyke and his 10-year-old brother, Kaeden, on a Westminster street June 23.
Quinton was killed, and Kaeden was injured. Neither boy was wearing a helmet, and only Quinton was wearing a seat belt, police said.
Daniels also faces charges of tampering with physical evidence and two other traffic offenses.
His next court hearing is set for Jan. 24, and a four-day trial has been scheduled to begin March 10.
