Debris from the scene of a hit-and-run accident that occured at Peña Boulevard and Chambers Road Thursday has given police and idea what car they are looking for.
Aurora Police Department Spokesman Lt. Chuck DeShazer said that the debris from the accident that injured Keino Taylor, 39, leads police to believe that the suspect vehicle is “an older model Honda Accord or Civic.” It may be blue-green or teal in color, DeShazer said.
Police said Taylor was helping a friend move a broken-down SUV on Peña Boulevard when the suspect vehicle sideswiped the SUV and struck Taylor, partially amputating his left leg.
Taylor told police he rememers trying to jump out of the way of the car, and next remembers being on the ground with paramedics looming over him. Doctors performed one surgery on Taylor’s leg, but have told him he will need more surgeries in the coming days.
DeShazer said the Accord or Civic will have primarily right front-side damage, but may also have side swipe damage and silver paint transfer from the SUV it struck. The car will also be missing its passenger side door mirror and its right front hubcap.
Police are asking anyone with information to call Det. Joe Petrucelli at 303 739-6924.
