GREELEY, Colo. — A woman died after being hit by an underage drunk driver, the Greeley Police Department announced this week.
On November 9 around 5:45 a.m., Greeley police said officers responded to a crash at the intersection of 23rd Avenue and 10th Street.
19-year-old Eduardo Parra-Corral was driving eastbound on 10th Street in a Ford Mustang when he ran a red light going over 100 mph, according to Greeley police.
Parra-Corral hit a Subaru Impreza with a 27-year-old woman behind the wheel. She was taken to North Colorado Medical Center in critical condition. She died five days later from injuries she got in the crash, Greeley police said.
Parra-Corral and the passenger in the car with him only had minor injuries.
