[11-12-26] A Woman Died Tuesday Morning After Being Struck by a Vehicle

Chambers Road was shut down in both directions at Mississippi Avenue in Aurora after a two-vehicle crash left three people hospitalized, one of them with life-threatening injuries. Police said officers were on scene investigating as the roadway remained closed to traffic.

Three Hospitalized, One Critically Injured

According to the Aurora Police Dept, Chambers Road northbound and southbound at Mississippi Avenue was closed because of the two-vehicle crash. The department said in a post that three people were transported to the hospital, with two suffering non-life-threatening injuries and one sustaining injuries described as life-threatening.

Police said officers remained on the scene investigating the crash as of Sunday evening. The department’s post did not include details on what led up to the collision, and the cause of the crash has not been established in the information released so far.

A Separate Crash Across Town

The Chambers Road closure is not connected to a separate two-vehicle crash reported at the intersection of Mississippi Avenue and Sable Boulevard, a different location elsewhere in Aurora. That crash, covered by KDVR, involved seven people being transported, three from one vehicle and four from the other, with one patient requiring extrication by Aurora Fire Rescue. In that incident, police said they did not suspect aggravating factors such as speed or alcohol, though the cause remained under investigation.

Chambers Road has seen serious crashes before. In September 2023, Aurora Police reported that all southbound lanes of Chambers were shut down overnight after a crash that sent several people to the hospital, including one in serious condition, with alcohol and speed listed as contributing factors in that earlier incident. That crash later proved fatal for one of the men involved, according to the department’s own account at the time.

No additional details have been released about when Sunday’s closure at Mississippi Avenue was expected to clear or how the investigation may ultimately characterize the cause. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.

DENVER PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT STATISTICS

Pedestrian crashes remain a serious safety problem across the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 7,080 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes nationwide in 2024. More than 71,000 pedestrians were also injured.

The problem is significant in Colorado as well. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, 120 pedestrians were killed on Colorado roads in 2024. Denver recorded 18 pedestrian fatalities that year, the second-highest total among Colorado counties.

Visibility is an important factor in many pedestrian crashes. CDOT reports that 78 pedestrian fatalities in Colorado occurred when it was dark in 2024, representing 65% of all pedestrian deaths that year.

The longer-term trend also remains concerning. In 2025, the state of Colorado recorded 127 pedestrian fatalities. Between 2020 and 2025, Denver County alone recorded 140 pedestrian deaths, more than any other state county during that period.

Pedestrians have little physical protection when struck by a motor vehicle. Even a collision at a relatively low speed can cause traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries, internal injuries, or other life-changing harm.

Common factors that can contribute to pedestrian crashes include:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Impaired driving
  • Failure to yield
  • Unsafe turns
  • Poor visibility
  • Failure to obey traffic signals
  • Drivers failing to watch for pedestrians at intersections and crosswalks
