SEEK DRIVER IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY HIT & RUN

The Colorado State Patrol is searching for a hit-and-run driver who struck a pedestrian in Arapahoe County. They do not know the make and model of the vehicle. The pedestrian died.

Wednesday night's tragedy occurred near the intersection of East Florida Avenue and South Alton Street, the patrol said. 

The pedestrian had been injured in an earlier accident. That driver remained on the scene. The pedestrian wasn't in a designated crosswalk. 

The initial crash "caused the pedestrian to be thrown into the right lane," the patrol said. "The pedestrian was then hit again by an unknown vehicle and dragged west of the initial incident location by this vehicle. The pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene."
