(July 10, 2023) – A Brighton man died early Monday morning in a two-vehicle rollover crash in the Gateway Park neighborhood.
Officers responded to a report of a crash at 2:05 a.m. at Chambers Road and East 40th Avenue. The subsequent investigation revealed a black Nissan Rogue, driven by an adult male, was stopped for a red light at the intersection when it was rear-ended by a gray Honda Accord.
The Honda, driven by a 26-year-old man from Brighton and occupied by a female passenger, had turned north on Chambers from Interstate 70 when it struck the Nissan. The Honda rolled once. Neither the driver nor the passenger of the Honda were wearing their seatbelts. The driver died at the scene.
The woman was taken to a local hospital where she was treated and released. The driver of the Nissan remained at the scene and was cooperative with the investigation.
The name of the driver of the Honda will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
This is the 35th traffic-related death this year in Aurora.
