A man who led police on a high- speed chase through Lower Downtown last week has died of injuries suffered when he crashed a stolen motorcycle.
Robert Lee Palmer, 35, of Westminster died at 5:52 p.m. Monday at Denver Health Medical Center, according to the Adams County coroner’s office.
Officials say Palmer was driving a stolen pickup before he ditched it and stole a motorcycle. He led officers from several law enforcement agencies on a chase June 24 that ended when he crashed in Adams County, police said.
A portion of the pursuit ran through crowded LoDo about 11 p.m. and included Palmer jumping curbs and driving down sidewalks in the pickup as he tried to shake police.
