Aurora police say a motorcycle driver was killed after colliding with a pickup truck at an intersection Wednesday evening.
Calls to 911 reported a “serious crash” at the intersection of North Catawba Way and East Sixth Parkway around 5:35 p.m. Wednesday.
When Aurora Fire Rescue and Aurora police arrived, they found an injured woman on the road. Despite being taken to the hospital, she did not survive her injuries, according to a news release.
According to police, a Dodge pickup truck was crossing over East Sixth while the motorcycle was headed eastbound on East Sixth when the two collided.
The driver of the Dodge stayed at the scene, police said, and no arrests have been made at this time.
Eastbound East Sixth Parkway was closed for several hours as investigators gathered evidence. Speed is being looked at as a contributing factor in the crash, police said.
The identification of the deceased will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.
Police said Wednesday’s crash marks Aurora’s 25th traffic-related fatality of 2022.
