AURORA — A 13-year-old from Aurora died Monday evening from injuries that police said were caused by a drunk driver on Halloween.
Dallas Burton was on his way to a prayer service at a friend’s house when the Mazda sedan he was riding in was hit by a Ford Bronco driven by Donald K. Edwards, 46, of Aurora, police said.
The Bronco had a raised suspension, allowing its front bumper to plow through the passenger side where it hit Burton in the back seat. The driver and other passengers suffered minor injuries. All were wearing safety belts.
Edwards failed a sobriety test and faces charges of drunken driving and vehicular homicide for the crash at East Iliff Avenue and South Peoria Street. Police said he turned left into the side of the Mazda.
