STATE PATROL SEEKS CLUES IN FATAL HIT & RUN IN JEFFERSON COUNTY

A body found in a highway median Sunday has been determined to be a pedestrian who was struck by one or more autos the night before, the state patrol said.

The tragedy occurred at Highway 74 - also known as Evergreen Parkway - and Kerr Gulch Road in Jefferson County.

The state patrol said the man, age 67, "was walking eastbound on Highway 74 and began to cross the lanes of traffic. As he crossed, he was struck by at least one vehicle and killed at the scene due to traumatic injuries. Crash investigators believe the unknown 'run' vehicle has front-end damage, possibly including the windshield."

The patrol said "investigators are also seeking information on a vehicle of interest. Troopers would like to speak with the driver of a white sedan, possibly manufactured around 2010, who was also traveling eastbound on Highway 74 during this timeframe."

If you have information, call the state patrol (303) 239-4501 and reference Case# VC260080. Be prepared to leave your name and contact information for an investigator to contact you.
