One person was killed and two others were injured in a head-on crash in Aurora early Saturday.
A little after 10 a.m., the driver of a Nissan Maxima traveling south on Peoria Street lost control of his vehicle, hit the curb and then drifted into the northbound lanes and collided head-on with a Jeep Wrangler, according to Sgt. William Revelle of the Aurora Police Department.
The passenger in the Nissan is dead. The driver of the Nissan is seriously injured and the driver of the Jeep suffered minor injuries. Aurora police said on their website Saturday afternoon that the injuries were not life-threatening.
All three of the people involved are males, police said.
Witnesses accounts and roadway evidence indicated the cause of the crash was the Maxima’s high speed. No drugs or alcohol were present at the scene.
Charges against the driver of the Nissan are pending investigation.
