EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. — Colorado State Patrol (CSP) is searching for a suspect driver accused of striking and killing a 76-year-old woman who was walking across a crosswalk in El Paso County Wednesday morning.
Colorado State Patrol (CSP) troopers responded to a hit-and-run crash on Constitution Avenue at Peterson Road in El Paso County shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday. This intersection is within Cimarron Hills, an unincorporated community in the county.
CSP said it determined that a driver in a pickup driver had hit a 76-year-old woman who was crossing Constitution Avenue in the crosswalk, and then fled the scene. The woman died at the scene.
The driver had been headed eastbound at the time, CSP said. Officials said they believe the vehicle is a dark-colored pickup and may be lifted. It may have damage to the grill, front corners and possibly the bumper.
Later on Wednesday, CSP announced that a driver in a second dark-colored pickup truck may have been involved. That person also fled from the scene.
No information was available on the drivers, who have not been identified as of Thursday morning.
On Thursday morning, CSP said the first driver came forward to talk with investigators. No charges have been filed as of noon.
Anybody with information about this crash is asked to call CSP at (719)-544-2424.
The El Paso County Coroner’s Office will release the woman’s identity after notifying her family.
