WESTMINSTER, Colo. — The suspected driver in a hit-and-run crash that put a motorcyclist in the hospital with serious injuries Monday morning was arrested, the Westminster Police Department said.

Just after 4:30 a.m. Monday, Westminster police were called to a motorcycle crash at 92nd Ave. and Westminster Boulevard. Upon preliminary investigation, Westminster police determined another vehicle was involved but had left the scene of the crash.
