AURORA, Colo.—A man accused in a hit-and-run crash that killed three people in Aurora is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Aurora police say 23-year-old Francis Hernandez was the driver of an SUV that ran a red light on Thursday, crashed into a pickup, and pushed it into a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop.
Two women in the pickup died instantly, and a toddler who was inside the shop died later at a hospital.
A memorial of cards, flowers, candles and stuffed animals is growing outside the store.
Immigration officials say it appears Hernandez was born outside the U.S., and have placed a hold on him. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok says that means Hernandez will be handed over to immigration authorities if the state releases him.
