Larry Dye has a request for the person who ran over his son and drove off, leaving the boy on a Commerce City street Tuesday with a skull fracture and other injuries:
“He needs to take responsibility. . . . We all make mistakes, but step up,” Dye, 45, said Wednesday outside Children’s Hospital.
His son, D’Artagnan Alexander Dye, 13, is in a medically induced coma, his condition critical.
Dye had a message for Commerce City officials too: The accident, on Oneida Street at East 75th Avenue near Colorado 2, could have been avoided had the City Council taken steps to control traffic flow in the area.
He said he and others in the neighborhood have gone to the council and complained that vehicles race through the area.
“We have been saying this was going to happen,” he said.
